Why am I experiencing shortness of breath at 54?
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?
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

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.

Consult a pulmonologist to check your symptoms, or a gastroenterologist since you were facing antral gastritis. Your chest pain could be something related to antral gastritis.

I'm suffering with sudden breathless at night
Female | 24
Nighttime breathing troubles can feel frightening. Airways narrowing from asthma is one potential cause, making inhalation difficult. Heart conditions and anxiety disorders are other possibilities leading to this issue. Consulting a pulmonologist is vital for precise diagnosis and suitable treatment recommendation, enabling improved nocturnal respiration.

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.

Coughing so hard together with chest pain can be due to one thing or another such as a bad cold flu, or pneumonia which could be even worse. To get through this better, make sure you get enough sleep, drink a lot of fluids, and consider using a humidifier. However, if your symptoms are the same, consult a pulmonologist.

Male | 30
A fever and chest pain suggest a chest infection. Viral or bacterial infections often cause this. Take ibuprofen for pain relief. Acetaminophen helps reduce fever. Drink plenty of fluids. Get enough rest. If symptoms don't improve or worsen, see a pulmonologist for evaluation. They can determine the cause and proper treatment.

Hello doctor yesterday I feel mucus with blood and mucus is being contue till week before that I had a cough which is cured but only mucus came all the time but yesterday mucus with blood about five times but today normal mucus
Male | 26
You might have experienced some blood along with mucus. Quite often, after a cough, the throat gets irritated and blood vessels break, which makes the throat bloody. The blood is on the outside of the body but has no serious health implications. If you are frequently experiencing it, or you are having such problems as weakness, dizziness, or chest pain, consult a pulmonologist if it is for your peace of mind.

Cough..very hard.........
Male | 30
Your cough sounds very intense. A severe cough can signify illnesses like chest infections, throat infections, allergies, or asthma. Stay hydrated, use a humidifier, and take cough medicine if required. If it persists, see a pulmonologist. Severe coughing fits are difficult. Coughs sometimes indicate underlying conditions. Persistent coughing warrants medical attention. Remedies like fluids and humidifiers provide temporary relief.

Even though you've tested negative for Tuberculosis and have no symptoms, these markings might be due to previous inflammation or infection. It's important to follow up with your doctor to make sure everything is okay before going abroad for a job. Get a thorough check-up and any additional tests your doctor recommends.

A respiratory infection probably caused your symptoms. Fever, chest pain, congestion in throat, nose, and chest, along with tiredness. Viruses or bacteria usually cause these infections. Rest up, drink lots of fluids, and use over-the-counter meds for congestion and pain relief if needed. But if symptoms persist or worsen, see a doctor.

Sir Yesterday I met a girl who had TB disease and talked to her for about 40 minutes. She even shouted once, "Do I have any chance of getting infected from her?" I was not there for more than 40 minutes.
Male | 22
The chances of catching TB from a brief interaction are low. Experts say TB is mainly contracted through prolonged close contact with someone who has active TB. Common symptoms include cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. To be safe, watch for these signs. If anything seems off, consult a pulmonologist.

It seems like the patient is experiencing a mix of symptoms, including mild fibrosis in the lungs, possible interstitial lung disease, and heart-related concerns like QT interval changes and palpitations. Given the complexity of the case, consult a pulmonologist for the lung issues and a cardiologist for the heart-related symptoms.
