I'm wondering if my x-ray is all good or if there's something wrong. Ive been having shortness of breath, but no fever, just feeling a bit weak. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I'm dealing with central sleep apnea and my oxygen levels are pretty low, even with using a CPAP machine every day. It's only around 70. Could you suggest any treatments that might help with this? I'm really concerned about my health.

I've been using Ipravent and Foracort Rotacaps for about 10 years now since they were prescribed for my bronchial asthma. I haven't gone back to the doctor because these meds seem to handle my asthma just fine. Do you think it's okay that I haven't had a doctor check-up in so long, or should I be looking into that?

Yes,continue same treatment. As advised by the physician.

I'm really worried about my dad; hes been in the ICU for 12 days now with this new type of pneumonia the doctors mentioned. There's still no improvement in his condition, and hes on a ventilator to support his breathing. It all started with a cough and a fever, so we thought it was swine flu and took him to the hospital, but the swine flu test was negative, and his heart seems fine. But hes still struggling to breathe normally. They said something about fluid in his oxygen pathways or possibly ARDS. Im really confused and unsure of what to do next, and I could send you his medical reports and prescriptions if that helps. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
