Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Unevenness in breathing is due to abnormal lung expansion secondary to thickened pleura and fibrosis.
2. If you are experiencing breathing difficulty, then you might need further evaluation of lung function tests, hemoglobin evaluation and thyroid hormone profile.
3. Your bone mineral density is considerably lower. Continue calcium medication and if necessary ayurvedic medication. Biphosphonates maybe needed at later date. Vit D therapy can be started to improve calcium levels.
4. As there is no edema or cough, no need to worry about unevenness in breathing. You can try breathing exercises using spirometry.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
