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.

Dry cough and and feels sinus pressure
Male | 28
A dry cough means coughing without phlegm. Sinus pressure makes your face feel full. These symptoms occur with colds or allergies. Stay hydrated. Use a humidifier. Try over-the-counter medicines. If symptoms worsen, visit a pulmonologist.

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.

Male | 24
Your friend has extra fluid around the lungs, on both sides. It's called moderate right pleural effusion and bilateral lung fluid. This makes breathing difficult, causes chest pain, and coughing. Leaving it untreated may be dangerous. The causes could be infections or heart issues. Draining the fluid or taking medicines might help, depending on why it happened. It's crucial your friend visits a pulmonologist for proper tests and treatment.

I have been waking up a lot while sleeping the past few days. I work nights so I sleep during the day and I laid down this morning to sleep and then everytime I was about to fall asleep I felt like I wasn’t breathing
Male | 24
You could have sleep apnea, where breathing stops briefly during slumber. Classic signs: waking often at night, feeling breathless before sleep. It's vital to consult a physician, who'll propose remedies. Side sleeping or special masks frequently ease the issue.

Want to know how it transfer tuberculosis from a patient who has been having treatment for more than 6 month to another working in the same team.
Male | 43
Tuberculosis spreads through the air from coughs or sneezes. If your teammate's treatment exceeds six months, transmission risk decreases. Watch for persistent coughing, fever, and weight loss. See a pulmonologist if symptoms arise. Cover coughs, wash hands frequently - good hygiene prevents TB spread.

i am 39 years old having vertigo allergic bronchitis
Female | 39
You have been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis, which is causing coughing and dizziness. The dizziness you're feeling, known as vertigo, makes it seem like everything around you is spinning. Allergic bronchitis happens when your bronchial tubes react to allergens like dust and pollen. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help with the cough and dizziness. It's also helpful to avoid triggers like smoking or strong perfumes.

The tests show you may have a sickness. Your body is fighting it. The TB medicine is helping, but sicknesses can take time to go away. Keep taking your medicine like the doctor said. Tell the doctor if you feel new things. Stay hopeful! Follow what the doctor says.

Trouble with the breath and chest pressure may mean anything from a respiratory or cardiac issue. It's imperative that you seek the opinion of a pulmonologist who will give you a correct diagnosis as well as a proper treatment plan that you will strictly follow. During your visit, it is essential to make your PCOS diagnosis known to the doctor.

My 1 year old son has a mucus blockage on his throat, its not going anywhere even when he cough and he is struggling to breath1
Male | 1
Respiratory mucus obstruction may be why your son is experiencing breathing problems, which can sometimes result in throat blockage. Coughing being the common symptom and difficulty breathing are other signs to look for. This blockage can be a result of a cold or allergies. If he is still alive, you can help him through the use of a humidifier in his room to make mucus easier to clear and whoop his back lightly a few times to help him clear his throat. If the issue continues or worsens, then you should consult a pulmonologist.

I am 23 years old. I’ve been coughing for the last 3 weeks. Got consulted from doctor last week, diagnosed lung infection. All medications are finished include antibiotics. Currently didn’t take any medication and still coughing. Other symptoms, chest pain and fast breathing.
Female | 23
Based on what you’ve said, your persistent coughing, chest pain, and rapid breathing could point toward a long-term lung infection. In some cases, infections can still linger even after the antibiotics course is completed. Therefore, my advice is that you return to your pulmonologist for a check-up to ensure everything is fine and seek additional treatment if necessary.

It seems better to see a doctor on your persistent cough and accompaniment symptoms. Your cough color might be a sign or symptom of a hidden ailment. The patient should see a pulmonologist for a detailed assessment and the correct treatment course.

It is advisable not to discontinue steroids abruptly without consulting your doctor as it leads to withdrawal symptoms. Please visit your doctor for any worries about the medication and they will give you a professional advice. If you happen to need a respiratory problem specialist, visit a pulmonologist.

I had intranasal MRSA and my doctor prescribed me mupricion. It actually made me contagious, why did that happen? Is it common
Female | 34
You could be handling MRSA bacteria which normally causes infections. When contracted, a drug known as Mupirocin is prescribed for treatment. The bacteria may become resistant if not used properly for a long time such that it even stops working, thereby rendering one more contagious. Take note of any symptoms such as increasing redness, swelling, or pain, and consult your physician. They might need to change your therapy to assist you in feeling better. Whenever you are using your medication ensure that you adhere to what your doctor has instructed or else you may encounter some complications.

Female | 24
You seem to have caught a respiratory infection. Symptoms like throat pain, phlegmy cough, fatigue, and mild fever often come with it. Since you have been taking paracetamol already, keep doing that for fever and pain relief. Also, try gargling warm salt water and resting up. If things don't improve or worsen, it's best to see a pulmonologist for further checks.

Male | 23
L-arginine can assist certain individuals in their breathing, but for those with asthma, it might not be the optimal choice. L-arginine can set off asthma attacks in some people, rendering one to gasp more. It is crucial to consult your physician before commencing any novel supplement, particularly if you have asthma.

My name is Amal 31 years old. I have some breathing problem and using Serflo 125 synchrobreathe. now in heavy rain i have cold and cough please suggest best medicine for nebulizer
Male | 31
Serflo 125 synchrobreathe is good but you need something more. You may want to try using Budecort respules with your nebulizer. These will help reduce any swelling inside your air passages which should make them wider and easier to breathe through. Do not forget about following the prescribed dosage exactly as instructed. But do visit your doctor before starting the medication.
