I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

I'm concerned about my father's X-ray results. It mentions a few calcified foci in the bilateral upper lung zone, and his lungs are hyperinflated with a flattening of the diaphragm. There's also apical pleural thickening on both sides. Can you help me understand what this means? How serious is it? I'm really worried and just want to make sure we're not missing anything important.

you need to start treatment for the above findings

I'm about seven weeks pregnant and I've been having this on and off wheezing and coughing at night for the past few weeks. Lately, it's been happening more often and it's really messing with my sleep. Sometimes I even struggle to breathe. I saw a physician who prescribed me Reswas, Cetrizine, and Drez gargle, but I've been on them for three days now, and it's not helping. What's going on? Should I be worried?

I'm feeling really worried because my family member has been having a bad cough and chest congestion for a few days now. He's also struggling to get any sleep at night and it seems to get worse when he's talking. We went to a doctor and while his blood pressure is fine and the X-ray showed everything is normal, the doctor prescribed some tablets and a syrup, including Ecozet MTA and Amoxicillin, and also recommended using Neb Duolin for a week. We've been following the prescription, but the cough is still not going away. What should our next steps be? Should we be concerned or try something different?

medications given are good, take syrup ascoril twice a day for 1 week
