Answered on 23rd May '24
The effects of flu, cold, and temperature elevations are common in winter. These symptoms are basically due to viral occasions and hence, they can be treated through the use of over-the-counter drugs and rest. See a general physician or a pulmonologist as this would be the best option.

Dear sir, Am suffering from prostate problem and during the treatment, it was found that there is infection in my lings and same my damaged by 45%, another is breathing pro lem, plz suggest me some medicine.
Male | 71
Your symptoms indicate a possible prostate malfunction. The 45% damage to your lung tissue might be causing your breathing issues. Lung infections can result from various causes, such as cough, fever, and difficulty breathing, and can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. It's essential to take medications for the lung infection: antibiotics for bacterial infections, antivirals for viral infections, and antifungals for fungal infections. Additionally, breathing exercises and treatments like inhalers may help improve your breathing. Get advice from a pulmonologist.

my chest hurts when i breathe & i have a bad cough
Female | 14
Pleurisy could be causing your chest pain while breathing and your bad cough. It occurs when the lining of the lungs becomes inflamed, often due to infections like pneumonia or colds. Make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and take ibuprofen for relief. Visit a pulmonologist if your symptoms worsen.

I need help with falling a sleep while having a cough
Female | 53
Falling asleep when coughing is hard. Coughs disrupt sleep by irritating airways. Cold, allergies, asthma – all potential culprits. Try elevating your head, using a humidifier, sipping warm honey tea. But if coughing persists, consult a pulmonologist. They'll provide appropriate advice based on your condition.

Male | 20
You've had a cough for some time. Tests showed bacteria, gram-negative bacilli, and gram-negative cocco bacilli, in your sputum. They cause lung infections. Symptoms like coughing often, fatigue, and breathing trouble are common. Antibiotics doctors prescribe help fight these bacteria, clearing the infection.

Is tramadol risky for a 99 year old woman? It was given to grandmother at nursing home and she started running out of breath.
Female | 99
This is especially risky for a 99-year-old woman. Tramadol may lead to respiratory problems among older adults. If she experiences any breath shortness; it is crucial to discontinue use of this drug immediately and seek medical attention. The doctor will provide necessary assistance on how to manage such symptoms as well as finding another less harmful medicine.

Hi there. I am asking this because I have consulted with my doctor before, and then got a second opinion with another doctor before and was told it was probably nothing due to me being so young. I was never given an answer to what is possibly going on. I started taking prescribed adderall in July 2020 for ADHD and started to experience shortness of breath about a year and a half ago. My blood pressure is never high, usually around 118/72 but my resting heart rate is usually in the 90s. The “shortness of breath” feeling is how I can describe this feeling of needing to constantly take a deep breath, and most of the time the deep breaths aren’t satisfying. I have to sometimes reposition myself and sit up straight or lean forward, etc to get a good adequate deep breath. But even when I get a good deep breath, it doesn’t satisfy me enough to stop the urge. The “short of breath” feeling pretty much persists all day, it just comes and goes. I assume it correlates with the adderall. I experimented before and stopped taking my adderall for two weeks, and the short of breath feeling stayed days after I stopped taking the adderall. It stayed over a week of me quitting the adderall, and that was a year ago when I first experienced the symptoms. So I don’t know if it’s related to the adderall, or if it’s something else. I do occasionally have heart palpitations with or without adderall, although they are harmless. I do not have palpitations during the shortness of breath episodes. I do suffer from bad seasonal allergies, but currently I haven’t been feeling any of the usual seasonal allergy symptoms so I don’t know if I’m even in season yet. I don’t know if this is allergy related but I’m on prescription allergy medicine (singulair) and it is still happening. So I was wondering if this is a cause for concern or not? Do you think this could be cardiac related, or potentially something else? My dad does have extensive cardiac history but I am young and am not worried. I just do not want to overlook any potential concerns just because of my age. I have tried asking my doctors but I don’t want to keep switching doctors and have them not take me seriously, or think I’m being a dramatic person. I just want a fair answer based on my symptoms instead of getting a “you’re young I’m sure your fine” answer.
Female | 22
You've noticed a breathing issue for some time now. This recurring shortness of breath can feel scary. It stems from conditions like asthma, anxiety, or medication side effects like Adderall. Since your family has heart troubles, tell your pulmonologist. They could order tests to examine your heart or find other potential reasons.

I had pneumonia a couple of weeks ago and got on meds and I thought it was clearing up last week and them a few days ago I started having pain I'm both sides of my upper torso
Female | 35
The pain you are experiencing is because of pneumonia. Follow up with your doctor to evaluate and ensure that the pneumonia has been fully treated. Your pulmonologist may perform additional tests or imaging to know the cause of your pain and provide appropriate treatment.

Hi I have asthma and i have been quite breathless tonight could you help please
Female | 29
Asthma inflames and narrows airways, making breathing difficult. Use your inhaler as directed. Sit straight and breathe slowly, deeply. If still struggling, seek medical help or go to the ER. Control asthma with regular check-ups and medications.

My grandmother is diagnosed with Pulmonary edema. We need to immediately taker her to Gurgaon which 5 hrs journey from our hometown. Can u please suggest some preliminary care/ tips for her immediate relief. Also like to know if this disease is curable?
Female | 80
This occurs when fluid collects in the air sacs of the lungs. Signs may include shortness of breath, problems breathing, coughs, or wheezing sounds. To make her more comfortable on the trip to Gurgaon, try to sit her up and give oxygen if it is available then keep her as calm as possible. In most cases, drugs are given as treatment for pulmonary edema which works by getting rid of extra fluids from the lungs besides dealing with its root cause like heart failure. Proper health care can help control signs but the urgent need for a pulmonologist's attention is necessary.

I am having chest discomfort and wheezing which can be felt my me only and not heard out . And I am having shortness of breath
Female | 21
Asthma makes breathing difficult. Your airways become inflamed and swollen. You feel tightness in your chest. Wheezing sounds happen as air struggles to pass through narrow pipes. Using an inhaler opens the airways. This allows air to flow freely. Breathing becomes easier, and more comfortable. Seeing a pulmonologist can properly diagnose asthma. Proper treatment helps manage symptoms.

i am a 16 year old female. i suffer from breathing difficulties that only occur at night. it has been happening the past couple of nights. i vape. i possibly have anxiety.
Female | 16
In case you vape and feel nervous, this might be the thing that is exacerbating your distress. Vaping injures the lungs and causes breathing problems. Anxiety may also bring about a rare situation where one finds it hard to breathe. As an alternative try to keep away from as often as possible and have deep breath exercises to calm anxiety or chat with someone. If it keeps up make sure you obtain help from a healthcare professional.

Facing health issues severe chest pain , tightness and breathing problem done x ray. Shows bravascilar prominent in lung field done ct scan show focal fibroatelectatic in right lobe and middle right lobe and lingula done pulmonary function test it shows breathing patterns changes and doctor says it's normal you're fine while. I'm not feeling well
Female | 24
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.

Male | 23
What you have described, such as breathing difficulties, heart pain, mouth ulcers, feeling sick, fatigue, and throat aches might be a condition like anxiety, stress, or vitamin deficiencies. It's great that your ECG and CT scan showed no issues. Healthy lifestyle choices are great but they can also help to ease the symptoms of stress, maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and sleep enough. If the symptoms persist, visit a pulmonologist.

My daughter has had a pretty bad cough since Wednesday. We know it’s bronchitis, but we need some over-the-counter medicine for her to take. Do you have any recommendations?
Female | 13
if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first.
