I've been having some uncomfortable breathing when I sleep. It feels like theres something blocking my throat, and it's really hard to breathe when I'm lying down. What could be causing this?

View allI'm trying to figure out if I might have asthma. In the mornings, my peak flow is around 450, but it jumps to 600 after I take two puffs of duolin. The chest X-ray and CT scan look normal, but the PFT results show early small airway obstruction with a PEF of 2575 or PEFR pred at 70. They also indicated mild obstruction with an FEV1FVC of 95 and FVC pred at 80. What does all this mean? I'm really not sure and could use some guidance.
Spirometry and pulmonary function tests are advised to the patient.

I'm a bit confused and worried after my recent tests. I had pleura fluid removed and the ADA test showed a result of 55, leading the doctors to say it's Tuberculosis. I'm trying to figure out if this means I have pulmonary tuberculosis or pleura tuberculosis since it's involving the pleura fluid. Also, my Gene Xpert test came back with "mycobacterium not detected." Can you help me understand what type of TB this might be and whether it means I have drug-sensitive or drug-resistant tuberculosis? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

I've been dealing with this persistent cough and phlegm situation for about 8 days now. I went to see a doctor, and they prescribed me Brozedex syrup, Cefolac AZ tablets, Crocin for pain relief, and Budusal nebulizer at .10mg, but I'm still not feeling any improvement with the phlegm. Should I be worried, or is there something else I could try?
To address your concerns: *Vaginal Discharge and Abdominal Hair* - Vaginal discharge can be normal, but if accompanied by itching, burning, or a strong odor, it may indicate a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. - The black line of hair on your abdomen (linea nigra) can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, which may be related to pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances. *Lip Kissing and Pregnancy* - Lip kissing does not cause pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg, typically through vaginal intercourse. *Recommended Actions* 1. Schedule a gynecological exam to assess the vaginal discharge and abdominal hair growth. 2. Practice safe sex to prevent unintended pregnancy and STIs. 3. Consider taking a pregnancy test if you suspect you might be pregnant.
