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?

View allMy dad's been diagnosed with lung fibrosis, and I'm really worried about what steps we can take next. I've heard about the possibility of a lung transplant, but I need to know if this is something that can be done in India. Could you provide details on hospitals where this might be possible?

I'm really worried and need some advice. My son-in-law is having a really hard time with a chest infection that's turned into the worst case of pneumonia. It's so bad that he's on ICU now and struggling to breathe. The doctor currently handling his case is a general physician and seems good, but I'm wondering if we should consult a chest specialist since this is related to chest infection. Do you think this situation is curable soon? I'm just really worried and would appreciate any suggestions on what steps we should take next.
start antibiotics and consult pulmonologist

I'm experiencing something strange with my breathing. Even though my nasal passages are clear, it feels like there's something blocking my inhalation right from the start. When I tilt my head back, I notice I can inhale more deeply. Is there an actual difference in my breathing when I do that? Also, during exhalation, I feel the air coming out just fine, but could this be a problem for my lungs? Would love some clarity on this.
