I experience throat irritation, mild breathing difficulty, and occasional chest tightness in highly polluted environments like Delhi, especially during poor air quality days. These symptoms improve significantly in cleaner air conditions. This pattern has been consistent over time, though I have not been formally diagnosed with a chronic condition.
I am planning a work-related relocation and wanted to understand whether continued exposure to high pollution levels could worsen these symptoms long term. Would it be medically advisable to consider relocating to a city with better air quality? Also, please suggest any precautions, tests, or treatment options I should consider.
Hi,
I am 23 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing breathing issues for the past few days, including wheezing and chest tightness, mainly at night. I was using my inhaler occasionally, about 2–3 times a month when needed. However, my symptoms seem to be occurring more frequently now. Could you please advise if I can continue using this medication or suggest any other safe options for pregnancy?

I have been suffering from a persistent cough for the past one month. Despite taking antibiotics, Inhaler and other prescribed medications, there has been no significant relief. Recently, I have started experiencing episodes during coughing where I feel choked and temporarily unable to breathe for a few seconds, which is causing concern.
I have also undergone a CT scan of the chest. The findings include:
Fibroparenchymal bands in bilateral lung fields.
Subtle ground glass opacity in the left lower lobe.
Presence of multiple mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes
I request your expert advice regarding:
The possible cause of my persistent cough and breathing difficulty.

I have been awake for two days without a drop of sleep, no matter what i do, i can't sleep. I am suffering from insomnia and i feel fine surprisingly but my head hurts. This has been going on for a month. I could only catch 3-4 hours of sleep a day now it's gone.
