I've been dealing with shortness of breath for the past year, and it's getting worse lately. It's gotten to the point where I'm out of breath just walking around my house. What could be causing this, and is it something I should be worried about?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 60 and has been having shortness of breath (SOB) when she's stressed. The doctor found moderate lung restriction from her PFT report and gave her a Butamate 400 inhaler to use for 8 weeks. All her other test resultsblood work, ECG, echo, and x-raycame back normal. Im just wondering if the inhaler is something shell need to use forever or if this is just a temporary thing?

I've been on TB medication for nearly two months, but I'm still coughing up blood. Is this something to be worried about? Is it normal to still have these symptoms, or should I be doing something different?

Gastroenterologist opinion is advised to the patient.
