It appears that you may be experiencing some worrying side effects as a result of using beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol sulfate rotocaps for your asthma. Rapid weight loss, reduced penis size, and low semen volume can be linked to these drugs’ long-term usage. These particular adverse reactions are probably caused by the steroids contained in the medication affecting your system. Hence, you should inform your physician about them so they can prescribe you a more suitable treatment plan for your asthma which won’t have these effects. Besides, the doctor might also recommend ways of gaining weight and supporting overall well-being.

I feel jerk in breathing for the last few days.it happens once in fifteen minutes.
Male | 52
Experiencing sudden jerks can be concerning. There are possibilities for the sensation of a jerk or interruption in breathing that happens due to sleep disorders, anxiety or panic attacks or other respiratory conditions like asthama or COPD.

My father is suffering from cough ki had concerned many doctors what is cough is not going well I want to know why he is facing problem like this doctors has prescribed all medicine he had completed his medicine code but he is not going well doctor has prescribed him to do blood test chest X-ray and sputum test I want to know what is the main cause behind this when he go out he cough very much and sometime he do vomit what is this problem?
Male | 47
One of the causes of persistent coughing may be. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), deteriorates the lungs over a period of time and leads to emphysema. This slowly causes breathlessness, persistent cough, and even vomiting because of continual irritation in the throat or bronchial tubes. The tests determined by a pulmonologist will set the diagnosis and based on the results of those tests the treatment plan will be.

আমার ছেলের কাশী কিছুতেই সারছে না, কখনও বেশি হয়, কখনও আবার একদম বন্ধ হয়ে যায়, প্রায় 1 বছর ধরে হচ্ছে, চেস্ট x Ray করা হয়েছে, কোনো প্রবলেম নেই। আবহাওয়া খারাপ হলে কাশী বাড়ে আবার কমে যায়। অন্য কোনো প্রবলেম নেই। খেলাধুলা করলে বা সাইকেল চালালে কাশী একদম হয় না। বসে থাকলে কখনও কখনও হয়।

It sounds like your son's cough is persistent and fluctuates in intensity, regardless of a chest x-ray showing no issues. Weather changes seem to affect it, with worsening during bad weather. Surprisingly, no coughing during physical activities like sports or cycling, but sometimes occurs when sitting. It might be worth exploring further with a pulmonologist to understand the underlying cause.

Jan-24 Doctor instructed me to check ESR and my ESR stands as 90 and Doctor suspected of Disimenated tubercolosis and put me on tuberculosis drug and after two weeks of tubercolosis drug went back to check esr,my esr came down to 35 from 90.Now i'm on second phase meaning it's 4 months of taking tubercolosis drug.

Male | 42
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.

I'm 54 years old, male. I've been experiencing shortness of breath since about 8 days now. I've been on anti-hypertensive drugs - Amlodipine 10mg and Vasoprin for almost 15 years. Please what could be the possible cause for the shortness of breath and weakness?
Male | 54
These symptoms might be connected to heart problems or side effects from your medicines. When you can't breathe well, it could mean your heart or lungs aren't working their best. Go see a pulmonologist soon to figure out what's causing it and find a solution.

Sir, my ESR is 64 or there is infection in the right region in the x-ray, do I have TB? And I am on antibiotics (IV Fluid) but the infection has still not gone down, so what should I do next?
Female | 23
You expressed worry about tuberculosis. TB affects blood test results like ESR, causing high readings. It creates infections visible on X-rays too. However, these signs are not exclusive to TB. Various infections or diseases produce similar effects. The antibiotics not clearing the infection is concerning. It suggests the need for different medication or further tests. Finding the root cause is vital.

I feel weak suddenly and feeling like i cannot breath
Male | 21
Feeling weak and struggling to breathe? You might have asthma, which narrows your airways and makes breathing difficult. Or perhaps it's a panic attack, which can cause breathing trouble. Stay calm, sit down, and breathe slowly. If it persists, seek help from a pulmonologist.

Male | 60
Your health tests came back normal which is good. However, the strange spots on the x-ray raise some concern. Those might show an infection like pneumonia. Antibiotics can help treat that condition. Do visit your pulmonologist again for more tests and proper treatment.

The patient is having lots of cough and couldn't sleep because of continues cough can i use levofloxacin with fexofenadine precisely leflox 750 mg with telfast 120 mg
Male | 87
Do not attempt to medicate yourself without a proper diagnosis. The patient might be suffering from a respiratory illness or allergy, hence the combination of levofloxacin and fexofenadine might not be appropriate. It is suggested that you see a pulmonologist or allergist for proper assessment and management.

I took promethazine dm syrup with diflucan for my sinus infection and bronchitis
Other | 28
You should not combine it with diflucan sinus and bronchitis infection medications. Promethazine DM syrup is a drug that contains an antihistamine and a cough suppressant, while diflucan is a medication with antifungal action. It is advisable to get a prescriber's advice before taking any medicine and follow their patient care course accordingly. For sinus infection and bronchitis, turning to a pulmonologist or an ENT specialist is recommended.

Female | 19
Maybe you are an asthma patient. The changing seasons can be the reason for the asthma symptoms intensified by pollen. Various symptoms are observed such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and feeling of being out of breath. The underlying cause is the body's hypersensitivity to certain substances known as allergens. The treatment is to utilize a doctor-prescribed inhaler can assist in more effective breathing. Dust and pollen are some triggers that should be avoided.

I’ve been having a issue since morning tho I’m asthmatic when I feel the pain I use inhaler it stops and later I feel it again
Male | 22
Asthma causes breathing difficulties like chest pain and shortness of breath. If you use your inhaler and feel better, that medicine is opening your airways. However, when symptoms return, it may mean asthma isn't fully controlled. You likely need to see a pulmonologist who can adjust your treatment plan. The right treatment helps manage asthma symptoms properly.

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.
