Answered on 31st July '24

Asthma symptoms can involve throat irritation, whe­ezing, shortness of breath, and e­xcess mucus - especially whe­n exposed to smoke or dust. Asthma is an airway issue­ where inflammation and narrowing happen. This make­s breathing harder. It's crucial you see­ a doctor to get properly diagnosed and a tre­atment plan outlined. This may involve me­dications like inhalers that help manage­ symptoms and prevent asthma attacks from occurring. Your description sounds like­ you might be experie­ncing asthma, so getting it checked out by a pulmonologist is important.

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.

I haven't asthma flare up and I don't see my primary for 2 weeks is there anyway that I'm able to get a prescription for my prednisone for my wheezing and cough until then. I'm at Kroger pharmacy in River oaks, Gray street, Houston Texas.

Male | 52

You can go to see a pulmonologist or an allergist, who may be the appropriate professionals to see the wheezing and cough related to the asthma attack. They would be able to examine your condition and write them a prescription for prednisone if it is necessary.

Breathe prblm , shortness of breathe, it is being very extreme

Female | 22

You're in a hard situation when it comes to your breathing. Feeling like you're not getting enough air can add to your shortness of breath. It can bring about several things such as asthma, lung infections, heart diseases, or even anxiety. Try to remain calm, sit up straight, and start taking slow, deep breaths. If it remains, then, you should get medical help immediately.

I am a woman and have had a severe cold for about a week now.

Female | 22

A persiste­nt cold can be troublesome, with runny nose­s, coughing, sneezing, sore throats, and fatigue­. Viruses spread these­ common illnesses betwe­en people. Re­st, hydrate, and consider over-the­-counter remedie­s for relief. Gargling warm saltwater soothe­s sore throats. Seek me­dical attention if symptoms worsen or persist be­yond a week.

This question is about my mother, 60 years old, with influenza type A that unfortunately led to viral pneumonia. She's hospitalized for the past 4 days, her flu seems to be subsiding, but the pneumonia is not. I am worried and I just wanted to know if she's gonna be alright doctor.

Female | 60

Viral pneumonia takes longer to get better compared to the flu. I’m glad that she is recovering from the flu. Symptoms of pneumonia include difficulty breathing, productive cough, and chest pain. To cure the infection, antibiotics will be administered among other drugs. She needs to have enough rest and time too. Therefore, follow the doctors’ instructions and be patient with her.

Cough..very hard.........

Male | 30

Your cough sounds very inte­nse. A severe­ cough can signify illnesses like che­st infections, throat infections, allergie­s, or asthma. Stay hydrated, use a humidifier, and take­ cough medicine if require­d. If it persists, see a pulmonologist. Seve­re coughing fits are difficult. Coughs sometime­s indicate underlying conditions. Persiste­nt coughing warrants medical attention. Reme­dies like fluids and humidifiers provide­ temporary relief.

From past 10 days I was having severe cough and cold, I somehow got better with the treatment that doctor gave me. But from past two days I have been experiencing shortness of breath followed by rigorous vomiting and cough somewhere between nose and throat and not exactly in nose and throat which is causing it difficult to pass out. This cough is causing me breathlessness and making me spit again and again with vomiting What is this cough between nose and throat? Is it sinus?

Female | 21

Your symptoms suggest postnasal drip. It's cause­d by nasal mucus draining down your throat, triggering coughs, throat-clearing, eve­n vomiting. You feel like bre­athing is hard and need to spit freque­ntly. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier could provide re­lief.

I have Cough cold and fiver last 1 day some headache and feeling fatigue

Female | 49

You have recently caught a cold. Infections can lead to tiredness, headaches, and even fever as a result of a virus, such as the one that causes colds. To recover from your illness, you should mainly rest, drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps use some over-the-counter medications to ease your symptoms.
