I've been dealing with a chronic belching problem ever since my first chest tube 3 years ago. This week, I was back in the hospital with another chest tube, and interestingly enough, I barely burped at all while I was there. Now that I'm back home, the burping has started up again, and it's painful to take a deep breath. I'm really worried my lung might have collapsed again. Could these issues be connected? Should I go back to the hospital?

I'm really worried about the lung fibrosis I've developed after recovering from COVID. Is there any risk that this could eventually turn into cancer? I'm hoping to understand what "moderate degree lung fibrosis" means in this context and what potential complications I should be aware of.

I'm really worried about my brother. His report shows he has Mycobacterium TB. Could you help me understand if this means it's in the early or late stage? Also, he coughed up a small amount of blood this morning and is having really bad chest pain. What stage might this be?

I've been having some breathing issues whenever the seasons change, and it's been happening for the past few years. It usually comes and goes on its own, but this time, it's been going on for about 23 days. I'm also feeling a bit of heaviness in the upper center of my chest, which feels really strange when I breathe. I don't have a fever, sore throat, or other flu-like symptoms. A few days ago, I started taking Grilinctus because it was recommended by a doctor for the same issue before, along with some other medicines that I can't remember now. I even got an Asthalin inhaler for emergencies, though I've never used an inhaler before, and I haven't tried this one yet either. While the breathing problem seems slightly better, the chest heaviness is making me anxious. Could this be asthma or possibly a heart problem? It's kind of stressing me out because it's hard to see a doctor right now with everything going on. Any advice on what I should do?

yes you might have asthma ,just do some confirmatiory tests
