Chest & Breathing Problems

Hello dr " Chronic cough and breathlessness for 6–7 years. Asthma treatment not helping. PFT shows severe obstruction (FEV1 41%, FEV1/FVC 57%). ESR 25 and CRP positive. CT chest normal. Also having chest pain, palpitations, muscle and joint pain. What could be the diagnosis and which specialist should I consult. "Despite treatment, my PFT values continue to decline."

I am 37 and live in the usa since 2010. Born and broughtup in India and visit India every year. Recently i got tested (blood) for TB for my green card application and to my surprise it turned out to be positive. I have no symptoms. Then they checked my xray which was normal. So the doctor said that i seem to be having latent tb. 1 in 10 people having this condition can later develop active tb and hence i should consult a specialist and start preventive treatment. What should be done next? I should take treatment or not and i have heard the side effects of medicines can be gruesome I have thyroid. Except that no other problem.

I am 36F and Consulted a doctor in early June for chest discomfort and nighttime coughing. All diagnostic tests were normal, and I received a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma (CVA). Later in late June, contracted a viral infection that caused a deep chest rattle. I Completed a 1-month course of Foracort 400 (twice daily) exactly 5 days ago (July 5). The late-June viral chest rattle ('ghar-ghar') and active cough have now stopped. • Current Symptoms: Voice is completely hoarse and cracked. Experiencing a mild, persistent 'sinking' feeling in my chest, especially when exhaling or leaning back on pillows. The chest feels generally uncomfortable and not fully right, though it is hard to explain in words. Of late I am feeling a tiny bit breathless at times (might be due to heightened awareness/anxiety). No classic acidity, stomach discomfort, or hot belches, but the chest discomfort is noticeably more after heavy meals. Can I take foracort agin or what should I do?

My father had pain in right leg and he was unable to move. We took him to doctor in hospital where the doctor asked to get him admitted as it can be a case stroke I don't know why We got him admitted on 1st july they did an MRI and said it is normal Now they said the oxygen level is dropping so they transferred him in MICU Now on 7th july they told us to buy or rent an BIpap machine along with an oxygen cylinder and to hire a caretaker Now i have some doubts Whether they got him admitted because the patient is a retired pensioner and everything is covered under insurance The hospital just started a caretaking service are they promoting it And how do i make sure whether a bipap machine is necessary or not because he had no breathing issues before getting admitted Please help me if anyone can

So at times I get breathlessness and my chest becomes tight and stomach feels like there is no air inside I had been to a doc they took the IOS test and said the lungs are fine and there is a small difference between before and after taking inhaler . I am also on anxiety medication and she has now recommended Cipla f inhaler a steroid version sometimes the inhaler helps but sometimes it doesn't and the anxiety medicine does not help in reducing the breathlessness . What could it be is it asthama or anxiety ? I have been to many doctors and now I am confused !
