Chest pains and breath problems may occur sometimes after getting a lung infection. Keep in mind that it could be inflammation in your lungs or heart. And also don’t forget that it may lead to critical consequences if not treated immediately.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me salbutamol lesetrin lukastin ansimar drugs for the bronchi. Can I masturbate while using these drugs?
Kişi | 30
Short breath in the air tubes can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, lesetrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself likely won't impact your issue or how well the meds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.

The flu is a virus that can cause your body to feel weak, sore, and have a fever. It can also cause you to cough, and your eyes may become weak. To assist in your recovery, keep drinking plenty of liquids, get enough sleep, and take plenty of nutrients. Over-the-counter medicines can provide relief from the symptoms but if you are not getting better, visit a pulmonologist.

I am having fever and cough for about 30 hours, I am taking paracetamol, I am feeling relief for 4-5 hours, then I am waking up like this, and I am also coughing.
Male | 24
It could be a respiratory infection that is giving you a fever and cough. Such infections can be due to viruses and bacteria. Paracetamol can reduce your fever usefully, while coughing is your airways' way of trying to clean themselves. Encourage your body to be healthy by drinking lots of fluids and getting enough sleep. If the last couple of days haven't been the best for you and you feel even worse than before, then it is time to consult a pulmonologist.

Hi there. I am asking this because I have consulted with my doctor before, and then got a second opinion with another doctor before and was told it was probably nothing due to me being so young. I was never given an answer to what is possibly going on. I started taking prescribed adderall in July 2020 for ADHD and started to experience shortness of breath about a year and a half ago. My blood pressure is never high, usually around 118/72 but my resting heart rate is usually in the 90s. The “shortness of breath” feeling is how I can describe this feeling of needing to constantly take a deep breath, and most of the time the deep breaths aren’t satisfying. I have to sometimes reposition myself and sit up straight or lean forward, etc to get a good adequate deep breath. But even when I get a good deep breath, it doesn’t satisfy me enough to stop the urge. The “short of breath” feeling pretty much persists all day, it just comes and goes. I assume it correlates with the adderall. I experimented before and stopped taking my adderall for two weeks, and the short of breath feeling stayed days after I stopped taking the adderall. It stayed over a week of me quitting the adderall, and that was a year ago when I first experienced the symptoms. So I don’t know if it’s related to the adderall, or if it’s something else. I do occasionally have heart palpitations with or without adderall, although they are harmless. I do not have palpitations during the shortness of breath episodes. I do suffer from bad seasonal allergies, but currently I haven’t been feeling any of the usual seasonal allergy symptoms so I don’t know if I’m even in season yet. I don’t know if this is allergy related but I’m on prescription allergy medicine (singulair) and it is still happening. So I was wondering if this is a cause for concern or not? Do you think this could be cardiac related, or potentially something else? My dad does have extensive cardiac history but I am young and am not worried. I just do not want to overlook any potential concerns just because of my age. I have tried asking my doctors but I don’t want to keep switching doctors and have them not take me seriously, or think I’m being a dramatic person. I just want a fair answer based on my symptoms instead of getting a “you’re young I’m sure your fine” answer.
Female | 22
You've noticed a breathing issue for some time now. This recurring shortness of breath can feel scary. It stems from conditions like asthma, anxiety, or medication side effects like Adderall. Since your family has heart troubles, tell your pulmonologist. They could order tests to examine your heart or find other potential reasons.

I have been coughing a lot for the past three days with soar throat...I went to the dispensary and I was given Lotide & prednisolone ....is this a right medicine for me?
Male | 35
These symptoms often happen when you have a virus infection. Lotide cough syrup can help your throat feel better and stop coughing so much. Prednisolone medicine is a steroid that can reduce swelling in your throat.

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.

I am 17 year old female, I had a common cold that started with sore throat week ago and now I don't have a cold anymore, I didn't have cough during the cold (my throat was sore for the first 2 days but then on third day my nose started to be stuffy and I didn't have sore throat or cough at all). But like 2 days ago I started to feel not pain, but like weird sensation in area of bronchi, but its not pain, just like a sensation I feel when I breathe. Its not all the time but I noticed it. I don't have cough, or any other symptoms and my cold is like 90% gone at this point, but I don't know what that sensation might come from and I don't think its bronchitidis since I dont cough, I dont have fever, and I feel generally good, just sometimes when I breathe I feel that sensation in area of bronchi as I mentioned and it doesnt make me cough, just like sometimes to slightly make that cough sound but its not cough if you know what I mean. What could be the cause and how can I get rid of it? Also, I dont know if its going to help but I sleep on my left side every night and lately I think it caused me a bit of pain in shoulder/upper chest area from being in that position all night long. So perhaps could It be caused my some pulled muscle or something from sleeping in wrong position ? Thank you for your answer.
Female | 17
Your case seems like a typical cold getting better. The breathing issue near the bronchi may come from inflammation after the cold. Sleeping on the left side likely caused muscle discomfort in the shoulder and chest regions. Rest up, drink lots of fluids, and practice good posture to ease muscle pain. However, if bronchial sensation persists after a few days, see a pulmonologist just to be safe. Get well soon!

Asthma is an ailment that can be characterized as the airways becoming narrow thereby making it difficult to breathe. Other reasons may include, for instance, allergies or heart problems. It is crucial to share your symptoms with a pulmonologist to find out what the problem is. They might recommend medications, exercises, or other treatments to help you breathe better.

You might have a severe lung infection that is causing you difficulty in breathing. This infection is indicated by a high fever, headache, coughing, and chest pains. If for a few minutes, you cannot breathe, it can be dangerous. Therefore, you should immediately consult a physician so that they may help make you feel better and ensure that you can breathe well.

Coughing can result from various reasons such as a cold or allergies. Ensure that you drink plenty of fluids and try a humidifier in your bedroom. If it does not go away after a few days, visit a general physician or pulmonologist.

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.

Female | 24
You seem to have caught a respiratory infection. Symptoms like throat pain, phlegmy cough, fatigue, and mild fever often come with it. Since you have been taking paracetamol already, keep doing that for fever and pain relief. Also, try gargling warm salt water and resting up. If things don't improve or worsen, it's best to see a pulmonologist for further checks.

I'm having cough especially while sleeping it gets more it never leaves to sleep
Female | 30
Night-time coughing can disturb your sleep. It might be caused by irritants in the air or conditions like post-nasal drip or acid reflux. Either way, it’s frustrating! You can try propping your head up while you sleep, and a humidifier might help, too. Staying hydrated is also a good idea. However, if the coughing doesn’t go away, talk to a pulmonologist about it.

I understand your apprehension about tuberculosis transmission. Lung tuberculosis disperses via airborne particles, not through saliva exchange. The likelihood of tuberculosis transmission through oral intimacy is minimal. Common tuberculosis indicators: persistent coughing, unintended weight reduction, and persistent fatigue. Should you exhibit any of those manifestations, coupled with prior exposure history, consulting a pulmonologist is important.

I am 20 years male and have cough for more than 1 months I have taken some pills and home ingredients and still I am coughing and I had headache while coughing
Male | 20
If you have been coughing for over a month, it could mean something more serious happening. Sometimes people get headaches when they cough because of the pressure in their head. The most common reasons why a cough lasts a long time are infections such as bronchitis or even asthma. You should see a pulmonologist so that they can find out what is wrong and give you the right treatment.

I need help with falling a sleep while having a cough
Female | 53
Falling asleep when coughing is hard. Coughs disrupt sleep by irritating airways. Cold, allergies, asthma – all potential culprits. Try elevating your head, using a humidifier, sipping warm honey tea. But if coughing persists, consult a pulmonologist. They'll provide appropriate advice based on your condition.
