Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mom is 74 and there doing a lung flushing in the morning. I asked why. They said they don t know what is wrong with her since she s having a hard time breathing. First they said she has lung disease fibroids but I think they are not sure what s going on
lung flushing in mornings, strongly points towards a bhronchitis, that can be due to chronic exposure to smoke or pollution. If it is producing breathless ness in the patient, an Xray and pulmonary function test is warrented here. However, we do need to rule out chronic obsturctive disorders for which a chest expert consultation is required and advisable here.
