I've just got my lung x-ray results back and it mentioned mild patchy consolidations in my bilateral lung fields. This definitely sounds concerning, doesn't it? I'm really curious to know what it all means. Do these findings indicate something serious? Should I be worried about this and what steps should I take next? Looking forward to your guidance.

I've been having this burning sensation in my chest whenever I inhale, and sometimes when I'm sleeping, it feels like my breathing gets blocked. Are these signs of something serious? Should I be worried about my breathing issues, even though I don't have other symptoms?

I've been having these episodes of shortness of breath since 2008. It first happened when I was exercising, and I just couldn't catch my breath out of nowhere. Since then, these episodes come and go, lasting for a few days before disappearing on their own. I'm a smoker, and when I got tested, the doctor said I've got mild asthma, but I'm not so sure about that diagnosis since I dont really have other asthma symptoms like wheezing. Does this sound like asthma to you, or could it be something else?

I'm currently on tiotropium, taking 1 capsule a day for inhalation, along with avessa 250 rotocaps, oxybro capsules, and glemont f capsules. I'm a bit worried and just wondering if any of these could be harmful to me or if they contain steroids. Could you give me some info about these medicines?
