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.

Pain in the chest, difficulty in breathing, and constant yawning can be the cause of concern. These might be the result of a number of things, for instance, asthma, anxiety, or even anemia. It is crucial to ensure that your lungs are getting enough oxygen. If you have these symptoms, seek medical advice from a cardiologist for a proper diagnosis.

Why is my cough somewhat black in colour...idid smoke in my past.

Male | 22

The tar and the other chemicals from smoking that are trapped in your lungs may cause you to have a black-colored cough. This means that the top layer of your lungs, which is trying to push out the harmful substances by coughing, is functioning properly. It's an indicator that the natural healing process of your body is working. To improve the condition of your lungs, it is critical to stop smoking and utilize water to clear out the tar that causes your cough.

My brother become short tempered after having these medicines he is not listening to us What should we do please help

Male | 26

Medications for TB commonly bring about changes in mood such as crankiness. Having junk meals while under TB drugs could worsen the situation. Ensure your brother eats nourishing food. If he still gets angry easily, you should consult his doctor.

I have been coughing for the last 20 days but it is not getting better. I consulted a doctor but the doctor checked me with a stethoscope and told me that my chest is clear. Before this he gave me Biopod CV, Cicof D and Wellkast medicines. But when I did not get relief and the course of medicines was over, he gave me Bilast M and Rabeprazole 40mg. It has been 10 days since I started taking the medicine but still I am not getting relief. Please suggest me which medicine should I take so that I get complete relief.

Male | 31

You seem troubled by a stubborn cough lasting over 3 weeks. It's wise to visit a pulmonologist for an evaluation. Allergies, asthma, or infections often cause lingering coughs. Since medications haven't helped much, tests like X-rays may identify the source and proper treatment. Don't ignore this prolonged issue; consult your physician promptly.

Female | 20

Oh no, now you have been in this bad condition for quite a long time! Having problems like coughing, fever with episodes of normal conditions, and sore throat can really make your life hard. Viruses are the main cause of these symptoms in life. Keep your body hydrated, and take breaks, just eat nutritious meals. Maintain a certain distance and instruct people to cover their coughs and sneezes. If it persists or worsens, consulting a pulmonologist is an essential thing to do.

Hi dr I’m asthma from childhood I use seretide 500/50 vantoline lumenta 10 mg Last week I will visit chest dr he give me azit 500 mg 3 day per week I have chest ct scan and X-ray normal I have cough my left side and sometimes sound

Male | 50

You use Seretide and Ventoline to help your symptoms. The cough on your left side might be from asthma. It's good that the CT scan and X-ray of your chest were normal. Your chest doctor likely gave you the antibiotic Azit to fight lung infections. Take all the pills until they're gone, like the doctor said. If the cough gets worse or doesn't go away, see your pulmonologist again. They can check it out and give you a different treatment if needed.

Asthma symptoms can worsen due to infections or triggers like dust or pollen. Focus on managing your symptoms by using your inhalers exactly as prescribed by a pulmonologist.

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.

My mother has sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD patient.last night her oxygen saturation 87 to 90. But physically she is normal .plz suggest what should i do.

Female | 66

The scarred and stiff lung tissue in sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD makes it hard for air to get in. If her oxygen level drops below normal, she does not have enough oxygen in her body. It can be really bad. Even if she seems fine, low oxygen can hurt her. Assure that her doctor’s instructions for using oxygen are strictly followed. In case there is no improvement, call for emergency medical services immediately.

Iam 18 years old Im suffering from cough from 7 days. my father prescribed me Azithromycin 500 mg. Actually my father is not a doctor but having some medication knowledge. Is it ok to take Azithromycin 500 mg ??

Male | 18

Perhaps a cold or allergies trigger the cough that has been there for 7 days. Azithromycin 500 mg is an antibiotic that can help if your cough is a result of a bacterial infection. Nonetheless, it's important to get a pulmonologist's examination to find out the exact cause of your cough before taking medication to take precautions before it occurs again.

Male | 38

According to your symptoms and X-ray results, it looks like you might have a respiratory infection. This can be a source of throat irritation, coughing, and breathing problems. Take over-the-counter cough syrup to assist with the cough. Furthermore, you should drink sufficient fluids and sleep well. Consult a pulmonologist and get further evaluation and treatment in case your symptoms persist or worsen.

It sounds like you're experiencing significant distress both mentally and physically. Since you're facing shortness of breath and dizziness along with mental health struggles, it's essential to seek medical help promptly. Anxiety or any cold-like respiratory virus might be causing these symptoms. It is imperative to take care of yourself. You can try breathing exercises, take a rest, and talk to someone. If you are still not feeling well, make sure you reach out to our nearest pulmonologist or psychiatrist for a counseling session.
