My dad's been having some breathing troubles for almost three years now. He's got this heavy feeling in his chest, a dry cough, and it gets really bad with heavy breathing at night. We're pretty worried. Can you give us some advice on what might be happening with him and what we should do next?

View allI'm having a tough time with my breathingI struggle to take deep breaths sometimes, and I've been relying on breathing through my mouth for the past four months. I visited a pulmonologist who had me take a chest X-ray, but it came back normal. He prescribed Razo D Tab 20mg for three weeks. Things seemed better during the first week, but by the second week, the breathing issues returned. Other than this, I'm eating well and sleeping properly, but every now and then, when the breathing gets difficult, I feel fatigued. There's no other issue apart from this. However, due to the current lockdown, I can't visit a clinic for a follow-up. What should I do next? Any suggestions on managing this?

I'm reaching out because I've been having some troubles and could really use some advice. I don't have a cough at all, but I've been putting a lot of effort into trying to bring up sputum, and thankfully, I've never seen blood in it. I'm not a smoker, but I do experience acidity problems. After taking Theo-Asthalin tablets for the past three days, I'm now feeling a heaviness in my chest. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what might be helpful for me?

I've just got the results from my premedical checkup for a job in the Gulf, and the X-ray showed that I have prominent broncho vascular markings in both lungs. I had a lot of phlegm when I was a kid, but that was sorted out a long time ago. I dont have any signs of tuberculosis or asthma, my weight and appetite are both good, and I havent had any fevers. My doctor said its not a disease, comparing it to a scar from an old injury. What does this mean? Should I be worried or is it nothing to stress over?
