Respiratory Diseases

I am working at a case study but only the pathophysiology part.
a case study to a patient suffering from Tuberculosis stage 3, and just undergone pleural effusion.
it is a group work actually. the "pathophysiology" was assigned to me.
how am i gonna start it?it's my first-time to do such study.
we were told to do the book-based and patient-based pathophysiology..
the patient said, she was hospitalized way back months ago, diagnosed with "bronchitis",
then the clinic doctor gave her medicines but did not do anygood with her condition.she was hospitalized for a week.
then was referred to a certain doctor in a hospital..undergone pleural effusion and later diagnosed TB stage3..

I got a chest cold at the beginning of Sept, I have not been able to shake the cough much, some days I seem to cough up alot of mucus and it is clear. My sinus's have not totally cleared either. I just haven't felt that great kind of dragging. Well it's december now, and I feel like my chest is starting to hurt again, my throat is irritated and it feels like I have a lump or something in my throat once in a while, I feel really crappy today.
3 months of this can't possibly be normal. I do smoke but I just went out today and bought the patch cause I can't take this anymore. Can someone please shed some light on this for me.

I take Singular 10 mg daily, and have a max air inhaler, which is efficient for a little while during swimming, but not enough. I have a month until I see my asthma doctor, and I want a little advice now. Any suggestions on breathing techniques, or procedures that will really help my asthma?

It started with the flu, then my asthma started up and now CHRONIC BRONICITS!! I have been coughing nonstop and feel like I'm sufficating. I'm coughing so hard I'm vomiting up all my medication and what little fluids I've had, not to mention my bladder empties because my cough is so severe. I'm waiting on a call from the doctors office which could take hours. Please, I'm crying while I'm writing this because I feel so bad and been sick for so long and I'm tired of coughing and throwing up, does anyone have ANY suggestions of something that will calm my cough. I'm litterally sweating from coughing so hard and so much. I know it's gross but it's all that green mucus in my chest trying to come up. The med.s are supposed to repress a sensor in the brain to control the urge to cough but like I said, it's not working. Please help me, I'm PAST miserable... Oh I forgot to mention that I haven't slept in about that long too, a few min.s here and there, I can't stand this anymore.

I am having a very hard time with this. I can't seem to go one day without feeling like I can't breath. I wake up in the middle of the night and I have to take a breathing treatment. I am on Atrovent 4x's a day, Albuterol inhaler 4x's, Breathing Machine 4x's and Singulair 10mg once a day. I want to know does it get better and how can I help to make it better? I can't hardly do anything without getting breathless. I was very active and have always been but I got sick a year and have been down ever since. I have never had asthma and didn't know what to do when I was diagnosed with it at age 33. I have been in and out of the hospital so many times with this over this last year. I have to carry a neublizer with me everywhere I go. I need all the help I can get so I can get back on my feet again. I am sick of being sick. I want to know the best way to handle asthma and go on with my daily life. Serious anwers please.
