Trouble Breathing While Sleeping
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
Pulmonologist
Answered on 13th Sept '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.

I'm having breathing problem, chest pain,back pain and dry cough
Female | 26
I suggest visiting a pulmonologist within the shortest run for your breathing problem and dry cough. These symptoms may mean a respiratory infection or something that can progress to more serious problems such as asthma or bronchitis. For your chest and back pain, however, see a consultant orthopedic specialist who will discover and treat muscle and bone problems as needed.

cough for over 2 weeks run in a competition? He has taken spetrin 500mg 2 times daily for 5 days and the cough won't go
Male | 15
You've had a lingering cough for over two weeks. A stubborn cough can be caused by colds, asthma, allergies, or environmental irritants. Taking Spetrin for five days was a good first step, but if the cough persists, a different approach might be needed. Drink lots of fluids, and get plenty of rest. Consider seeing a pulmonologist for personalized advice.

Good morning doctor I am suffering cough and cold. and fever.and neck swelling.body pains.
Female | 30
You might have a viral infection. Fever, cough, cold, body pains, and neck swelling are fairly common with these infections. The virus is being fought by your body, which is manifesting these symptoms. Resting, staying hydrated, and taking over-the-counter medications for fever and pain are helpful in this case. If your symptoms get worse or last longer, you should visit a doctor.

Is Sinucon a safe decongestant tablet to use at 29 weeks pregnant, it contains pseudoephedrine
Female | 23
It is generally not recommended to use Sinucon, which contains pseudoephedrine, during pregnancy, especially at 29 weeks, as it may pose risks to the baby. Always consult your gynecologist before taking any medication to ensure it is safe for you and your baby.

What happened to me? I get asthmatic attacks from dairy products regularly. But this time, even though I did not consume any dairy products lately. I have one of the worst one I ever had, got an asthma attack, my eyes are red and specific areas of the left part of my lips is puffed up for some reason. I've consumed a large quantity of dairy products before and the reaction wasn't nearly as severe.
Male | 13
You might be having a more serious allergic reaction which could cause your asthma symptoms to worsen; it may also cause swelling in areas such as your lips. Although now you haven't consumed dairy, allergies sometimes develop gradually and give rise to severe reactions. Allergies can often be so severe that they cause the eyes to become red. You should stay away from dairy and consult an allergist to establish your triggers and to receive the correct treatment.

I'm a 19 year old female. I drink a shot of bleach and have chest pain, cough, nausea, shortness of breath, and I feel hot. This all happened yesterday april 30th at 1 am.
Female | 19
Ingesting bleach may cause these effects by irritating your respiratory and digestive systems. It’s risky and should be treated as a medical emergency. Always remember that bleach is harmful if swallowed and could injure your internal organs in the future.

Male | 34
You're struggling with symptoms such as bloody mucus when coughing, nasal congestion, and respiratory difficulties. These signs may indicate a lung infection, rhinitis, or even a serious disease. It's essential to visit a gynecologist promptly to get a valid diagnosis and a treatment plan. Do not delay going to the hospital if your symptoms worsen.

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.
Female | 21
After having the flu, your body gets weaker. Germs found it easier to infect your chest area. That's why you're feeling tightness, wheezing, and coughing. The cold air makes these symptoms worse. To improve your condition, stay warm, drink lots of fluids, and use a humidifier. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice from a pulmonologist.

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.

These signs may follow an RSV attack. RSV is a virus which affects the lungs and breathing. Sometimes heat in the chest and back is caused by swelling of the airways. Taking a lot of fluids and rest will enable your body to recover. However, if these signs persist or worsen, it is necessary to see a pulmonologist for further advice.

These symptoms, along with yellow phlegm with a foul smell, could indicate a lung infection or pneumonia. Both viruses and bacteria can cause these issues.

I had dry cough sometimes and feels sinuses pressure after eating especially forehead
Male | 28
Post-nasal drip could cause your discomfort. Excess mucus draining down your throat can make you cough and feel sinus pressure around your forehead area. Food consumption might trigger it. Staying hydrated by drinking water regularly, and using saline nasal spray, could alleviate these symptoms.
