Medications for TB commonly bring about changes in mood such as crankiness. Having junk meals while under TB drugs could worsen the situation. Ensure your brother eats nourishing food. If he still gets angry easily, you should consult his doctor.

In case a doctor has evaluated your ERS as not being a cause of worry, you need to accept their expert opinion and do not overthink it. Therefore, if you are still confused or you have any more questions you must go to a pulmonologist.

Pneumonia is a serious lung infection making breathing difficult. Fever and cough come with pneumonia too. Doctors prescribe injections and suppositories to fight the infection. You must follow the doctor's advice for quick recovery. If injections scare you, discuss concerns with your doctor. They'll explain why treatments are needed and ease your worries. Getting proper treatment is crucial for overcoming pneumonia.

Hi, my name is aiden i am 14 years old and I've been wondering if there something wrong with me when i lay down on my chest i find it a lil hard to breathe sometimes i wonder if its axizety or i might be overthinking but other then that ive been having axizety making it hard for me to sleep and i just feels like my eyes are close but im not getting any sleep what should i do
Male | 14
When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night. You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.

What to do if adult or old age is not able to sleep and has heat rate 122 and oxygen level 74
Female | 100
If someone older can't sleep well and their heart beats rapidly at 122, with low oxygen at 74, there may be an issue. Symptoms like a racing pulse or poor oxygenation often stem from heart or lung problems. Seeking medical care promptly is crucial to pinpoint the exact underlying reason for these signs and receive appropriate treatment.

Breathing problems since 3-4 days only in night
Female | 20
Many people struggle with breathing issues at night. Nighttime breathing troubles arise from various causes. Common reasons include allergies, asthma, or a room filled with dust. Coughing, wheezing, and feeling short of breath often occur. To improve air quality, keep your bedroom clean and dust-free. Using an air purifier can also help. However, if problems persist, see a pulmonologist without delay. They can evaluate your condition and provide appropriate treatment.

Male | 17
When you can't breathe easily through your nose and your chest is light, the symptoms might be asthma, anxiety, or even a lung infection. For a correct diagnosis, it is crucial to visit a pulmonologist. You can remain calm, sit up straight, and breathe slowly instead of this. If your symptoms get worse, you have to go to the doctor immediately.

It is possible that you may have an underlying respiratory condition such as asthma or COPD that is causing your symptoms. You should see a doctor for a more thorough evaluation and to discuss treatment options. It is also possible that your symptoms could be caused by allergies or other environmental triggers. An allergist or pulmonologist can help you identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.

Male | 83
Extreme fatigue and loss of appetite could be caused by COPD. Sometimes people may talk while asleep, be restless, or become unresponsive during this period. This means that the body is extremely weak. Right now, what is most important is to make sure he is relaxed all the time, don’t force him to eat too much but give him small amounts of food often.

The symptoms you are giving are very understandable. Muscle pain and weakness after fever and colds sometimes occur, but if the pain and numbness are increasing, it is a problem. It can also happen because of neurological or muscular issues. Taking a little rest, making hydration, and doing some light stretching can be helpful. But most importantly, you should consult a pulmonologist who can accurately examination of your health and provide you with proper treatment.
