Chest & Breathing Problems

Hello doctors, I have been diagnosed with bronchitis and I’m experiencing breathing difficulties. I heard about red light therapy and was wondering if it could help improve my breathing or reduce lung inflammation. Is it safe to use red light therapy in my condition? Could it make my symptoms worse? Looking forward to your advice. Thank you.

Hi doctors, I’ve heard that NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) is good for lung health, clears mucus, and may reduce lung inflammation. I might have bronchitis and want to know: Can I safely take NAC with bronchitis? Does NAC really help reduce lung inflammation? Does it interact with other medicines like antibiotics, asthma inhalers, or acid reflux medications? Please guide me. Thank you!

Hello Doctors, I wanted to ask your opinion — do you recommend the Methacholine challenge test to confirm if a patient truly has asthma or not? Patient has symptoms like: Breathing difficulty Chest tightness Normal spirometry most of the time

I have a weird issue I don't know how to describe. I am able to breathe normally but I face problems when breathing deeply and intensely. After 2-3 deep breaths I feel congestion in body. I face problems in bowel movements as well like when I force the feces out it gets more difficult to pass it out. I face problems in thinking as well, the more I try to concentrate and think the more difficult it gets. Please help me

I asked in a few centers near me in Mumbai for the Methacholine challenge test, but I couldn’t find any hospital or lab that offers it. I want to confirm — is the Methacholine test available anywhere in India, or is it not commonly done here? Also, can you recommend any pulmonary clinic or hospital (especially in Mumbai or nearby cities) that offers the Methacholine test? If anyone has done this test or knows any center, please share the details. Thank you in advance!
