I am a 20 year old male who has been having chest pains for the past week. They have come and go and spread through my chest and shoulders to my back. They are typically sharp or dull and can occur when I take a deep breath but feel better while I exercise. I had this before and had two x rays in the past and an x ray today to check if there was anything wrong with my lungs and evertime, my doctors assured me I am fine. I heard that x rays can miss lung cancer.

X-rays are generally effective in detecting lung conditions, but they may not always identify all potential issues, and early stages lung cancer. However it's important to note that chest pain can have various causes, and lung cancer is relatively rare, especially in young individuals. Consider discussing your concerns with your doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and recommend further tests or referrals to address your chest pains. They are in the best position to provide appropriate guidance based on your individual situation.

Male | 27
These symptoms could be respiratory infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, or other conditions. It's possible that the initial treatment may not have fully resolved the underlying issue, or there may be another cause for your symptoms that requires further investigation. Check with your pulmonologist.

Fever, cough, headache and running nose
Male | 29
The fever is your body signaling you are sick, and the cough and nasal congestion are two signs of your respiratory system being affected. Drink a lot of fluids, rest well and if you feel you can take some over-the-counter medicines to help you feel better. Most of these cases just pass by themselves, but in case the opposite happens or if the discomfort lasts, go ask a pulmonologist for advice. They must carry out a more detailed assessment and apply the correct treatment.

I have been diagnosed with bronchitis and on a week course of antibiotics but my chronic cough has not improved and I have been vomiting and shortness of breath when walking and feeling very tired and body aches and headaches
Female | 26
Something seems wrong—your symptoms like vomiting, breathing trouble, exhaustion, aches, and headaches suggest the bronchitis worsened. The infection possibly spread. That's serious, you really should see a doctor urgently. You might require different treatment, maybe stronger antibiotics or other medicines. Delaying medical attention would be unwise.

Anxiety late night asthama attack
Female | 14
Late-night asthma attacks triggered by anxiety are not uncommon. When anxiety strikes, your body can react in unusual ways, leading to respiratory issues. Asthma symptoms can worsen, making it difficult to breathe. You might experience wheezing, persistent coughing, and a tight feeling in your chest. To manage anxiety, try calming techniques like deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation.

Remedy for severe asthmatic attack
Female | 38
Feeling an asthma attack is frightening. Your breaths shorten, wheezing comes, coughing increases, tightness squeezes your chest. Airways swell, becoming narrow during attacks. To ease severe attacks: inhale from a rescue inhaler, sit upright, stay calm. If symptoms don't improve quickly, seek emergency care immediately.

Night sleep breathing problem
Male | 42
A persistent cough and runny nose could indicate whooping cough, especially if your baby recently had a fever and took antibiotics. Whooping cough is a contagious respiratory infection that causes severe coughing fits. Make sure your child rests, drinks plenty of water, and uses a cool-mist humidifier to ease the cough. Monitor their condition and contact their doctor if you have further concerns.

You had the flu 3 weeks ago and now have chest issues. Chest feels wheezy and tight, especially when it's cold. Cough comes and goes, sometimes dry and sometimes wet.

It's crucial to continue asthma treatment as prescribed. Without Formonide 200, which helps control asthma long-term, seek immediate advice from your pulmonologist or asthma specialist. They can suggest a suitable alternative or provide a temporary solution until you can refill your prescription.

Problem of short breathness,
Male | Srinibash roy
Dyspnea can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, asthma, allergies, or an underlying heart or lung disease. Some of the more ordinary indications may be a feeling of contraction in your chest, a fast heartbeat, and a feeling as if you can't get enough air. It's very important to get to the heart of the matter. Simply trying out activities such as deep breathing exercises or keeping yourself in a state of calm and maintaining good body posture can help. Nevertheless, I suggest you consult a gynecologist to make a thorough check-up and offer you the help you need.

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.
