Accepted Answer

The vibration and occasional sharp pain you feel in your lower lung could be due to muscle strain, mild inflammation in the pleura (lining of the lungs), or even trapped air in small airways. If it persists or worsens, consult a doctor for a thorough check-up to rule out any lung or musculoskeletal issues.

Accepted Answer

While there is no definitive evidence that directly links asthma to an enlarged heart, it is plausible to consider that the increased workload on the heart due to labored breathing in asthma patients could potentially lead to the heart muscle becoming enlarged over time. This condition is known as cardiomegaly. In such cases, it is important to manage asthma effectively to reduce the strain on the heart. Medications such as inhaled corticosteroids like Fluticasone (100-250 mcg twice daily) and bronchodilators like Albuterol (2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed) can help control asthma symptoms and potentially reduce the risk of complications such as cardiomegaly. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is also recommended to assess heart health and adjust treatment as needed.
