I've been dealing with a wheezing cough and shortness of breath for two months. I was on continuous treatment during the first month, but then I stopped. Because the cough got really bad again, I started taking wheezing medicines for the past five days, including Budamate 400 and Airz FF inhalers, along with Levot M and Nayapred just for five days. Initially, the cough and wheezing eased up on the first day of the medication. But now, after 4 to 5 days, even though I'm still taking the meds, the cough sometimes returns and lasts for a while. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening? Should I consider visiting the doctor again?

I'm thinking about getting a full body check-up, like from head to toe, and I'm kind of worried because I've been a heavy smoker for a while. What tests should I consider to find out how much damage smoking might have done to my body? Also, does a regular body check-up include smoking-related tests, or should I look for specific ones? Could you also suggest some good hospitals where I could get this done?
The cost of a full-body check-up varies depending on the hospital, but it generally ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 in India. For a smoker, essential tests include lung function tests, chest X-ray, and heart-related tests. Most full-body check-ups cover these, but it's best to confirm with the hospital. I recommend visiting reputed hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, or Medanta for comprehensive screenings.

I'm an ex-smoker, having smoked about 510 cigarettes a month for 56 years, and I quit just a month ago. I'm really worried because I'm experiencing chest congestion and I'm producing sputum, though it isn't thick. I'm also noticing mild labored breathing whenever I exert myself. I have a chronic dust allergy, and my recent chest X-ray showed I have mild sinusitis. The main worrying sign right now is that I hear a low-pitched whistling sound when I breathe in. Can you please advise me on how I can help heal my lungs from all the damage over the years?
Do regular breathing exercises, avoid allergens
