I've been having these really scary moments just before I fall asleep where I stop breathing and wake up in like a full-on adrenaline rush. It's happening a lot, like 15 to 20 times back-to-back. I thought it was obstructive sleep apnea, so I tried using a CPAP, but that didn't solve it. Then I considered it might be a stomach acid thing and tried Nexium, but nope, still happening. Do you have any ideas about what could be causing this?

View allI'm really worried because my recent medical checkup in a Saudi clinic showed some upper lobe fibrotic lesions in my X-ray. They said I'm unfit because of this, and when I asked the doctor, they mentioned it might be due to old tuberculosis, showing up as fibrosis. I'm confused and a bit scaredcan something like this be treated or removed? What's the best way to go about this?

I'm trying to understand the results of my recent HRCT scan, which showed small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe. I'm not currently experiencing any health issues, so should I be worried about this finding? Is it something serious?
The HRCT report indicates a small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe, which suggests some scarring or fibrosis in the lung tissue. While this could be due to past inflammation or mild injury, it's important to monitor and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. It's not necessarily a serious issue, but it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

I'm really loving the benefits of Amla juice for my skin and hair, but I've been having some trouble breathing at night, which is affecting my sleep. I saw a local doctor who suggested taking Azithromycin 500mg at night and advised stopping all sour foods and Amla juice. Is there any way I can address the breathing issue without having to give up Amla juice? It's been really effective for me and I don't want to stop if possible.
Continue all the medications.Also seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient during breathing difficulty.
