Why does chest pain persist after clear test results?

The focally fibroatelectatic area seen on the x-ray of your right lung may be causing the symptoms you are having. Although irregular breathing patterns have been observed, pulmonary function tests are normal. This may happen because of trapped air in your lungs. Consult a pulmonologist and discuss your test results so that further evaluation and treatment can be done.

This slowly causes breathlessness, persistent cough, and even vomiting because of continual irritation in the throat or bronchial tubes. The tests determined by a pulmonologist will set the diagnosis and based on the results of those tests the treatment plan will be.

Can I request blood test for mold toxicity?

Mold can grow in damp areas, releasing spores that may cause illness. If you suspect mold exposure, you can ask your doctor for a blood test by saying, "I'm worried that mold at home or work may be causing my symptoms. Could we check for mold toxicity in my blood?" This test can help determine if mold is behind your health issues. In addition to treating any symptoms, it’s important to address the mold sources at home and work to improve your air quality.

Monitor their condition and contact their doctor if you have further concerns.

Why Did I Have Severe Asthma Attack Without Consuming Dairy?

You might be having a more serious allergic reaction which could cause your asthma symptoms to worsen; it may also cause swelling in areas such as your lips. Although now you haven't consumed dairy, allergies sometimes develop gradually and give rise to severe reactions. Allergies can often be so severe that they cause the eyes to become red. You should stay away from dairy and consult an allergist to establish your triggers and to receive the correct treatment.

Have I received appropriate treatment for lung tumor growth?

Lung metastases from cancer can result in cough, dyspnea, and chest pain. The therapy you underwent has been difficult, but it is worrying that the tumor in your right lung has increased so much. In this context, further investigation and possibly intervention such as surgery, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy might be the next step. It is crucial to consult your doctor about your case to determine the optimal path.
