I've been dealing with this choking sensation for almost a year now, and it really feels like I'm short of breath. I end up coughing a lot, trying to make it better, and it kind of feels like I'm going to vomit, but nothing ever comes outno vomiting, no sputum. I haven't had any fever either. I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago and everything seemed normal, and about five months ago, I had an HD Chest Scan, 2D Echo, and another X-rayall normal too. I'm taking Montek LC half a tablet at night and using an inhaler, but nothing's helping. What could this be?

I'm really worried about my dad. He was diagnosed with acute bronchitis back in January 2020, and he's also got diabetes. He's been using this Foracort 400 inhaler, started with 2 puffs twice a day, and now it's down to once in the morning and evening. The thing is, he's been using it consistently ever since. I'm just wondering, should he keep using it indefinitely? And are there any side effects we should be aware of?

Its important for your father to follow his doctors advice regarding the inhaler, as long-term use may help manage his respiratory condition. However, prolonged use of inhalers like Foracort can lead to side effects such as oral thrush, hoarseness, or potential impact on blood sugar. Its best to have his condition regularly reviewed by a healthcare professional to assess if continued use is necessary.

I'm 20 and have smoked for just a year, about 23 cigarettes a day. Recently, I've noticed some red streaks in my mucus when I wake up in the morning. Could this mean I have lung cancer? It's been really stressing me out.

do a chest xray and proceed further
