Tuberculosis recording information my tb gold report is postive so please help me

Male | 18

This suggests that you might have come in touch with the microbes that initiate tuberculosis infection. I would recommend that you see a pulmonologist, such as tuberculosis. Medical attention and following the physician-recommended treatment plan are important to combat tuberculosis.

I wanna talk about chest infection

Male | 55

A chest infection happens when germs enter the lungs. Breathing becomes difficult. You might cough constantly, feel short of breath, and experience chest discomfort. Viruses or bacteria frequently cause this condition. To alleviate symptoms, get plenty of rest, drink water regularly, and use a humidifier. Additionally, inhaling steam or taking warm showers can provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen, it's crucial to seek medical attention from a pulmonologist.

can i take co codamol with oramorph

Male | 31

One of the main points to remember here is that action is highly needed when considering co-codamol and oramorph together. These pain-relieving drugs contain opioids, which can be quite dangerous, especially when they are used in combination. Those may include headaches, drowsiness, and shallow breathing. It's a great idea to tell your doctor about your query if you suffer greatly from pain, as such may serve as your first step to the way out of your pain.

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.

What might be the cause of those scar? as I am planning to go abroad for job will I be able to clear GAMCA Medical?

Male | Shikhar Bomzan

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.

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.

Female | 38

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.

I have problem in breathing

Male | 22

Breathing difficulties can occur for various reasons. Some common signs include shortness of breath, wheezing, and a tight feeling in the chest. Causes can range from asthma and allergies to anxiety. If you're experiencing breathing difficulties, try sitting upright, breathing slowly, and staying calm. If the problem persists, seek a pulmonologist's advice to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Excess phlegm and wheezing

Thick spit and coughing? Having trouble breathing too? It could be excess phlegm, wheezing, or maybe a cold, allergies, or asthma. Keep your surroundings clean, drink plenty of water, and use a humidifier. If you're still having difficulty, consult a pulmonologist for assistance.

Male | 23

What you have described, such as breathing difficulties, heart pain, mouth ulcers, feeling sick, fatigue, and throat aches might be a condition like anxiety, stress, or vitamin deficiencies. It's great that your ECG and CT scan showed no issues. Healthy lifestyle choices are great but they can also help to ease the symptoms of stress, maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and sleep enough. If the symptoms persist, visit a pulmonologist.

I have Cough cold and fiver last 1 day some headache and feeling fatigue

Female | 49

You have recently caught a cold. Infections can lead to tiredness, headaches, and even fever as a result of a virus, such as the one that causes colds. To recover from your illness, you should mainly rest, drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps use some over-the-counter medications to ease your symptoms.

I was smoking. But I quit smoking till 2 days. Now I'm facing difficulties of breathing.

Male | 24

Experiencing shortness of breath after stopping smoking is a typical occurrence. Your body is getting used to the new environment. This may be because your lungs are now getting rid of the waste that can be left after smoking. It is a positive indicator that your body is on the way to recovery. Attempt to resume the procedure by breathing slowly and drinking water. If the problem doesn't go away, visit a pulmonologist.

A little pain on right side chest after smoking. the pain goes away only If i stop smoking for atleast 10 days. the pain starts as soon as I start smoking again.

Male | 36

If you think your chest pain is due to smoking, then you must stop smoking to reduce the risk further. Get a thorough evaluation done by a cardiologist or pulmonologist for further treatment.

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 am facing shortness of breath and unable to move due to this. Already taking treatment but no improvement getting. Doctor is treating for CRP. It is reported 38 on 26 aug and platelet are 83000. Also fever and khasi.

Male | 63

When you show symptoms such as a fever, cough, and CRP levels that are too high, it might mean there is a serious infection in your body. The high platelet count may also be a sign of inflammation. It's vital to stick strictly to your doctor's instructions since they are most probably dealing with an infection at the moment. Keep them updated on any shifts in your symptoms, or if you're feeling worse. Rest, drink a lot of water, and take the medications as prescribed. If you see any signs of your symptoms worsening, contact a pulmonologist immediately.

I've been coughing for more than 3 weeks and sometimes I find it hard to breathe

Female | 22

It seems like you’re having a hard time. Not being able to breathe well and coughing for more than 3 weeks is strange. A bad cold or even asthma can cause these problems. But it could also mean that there’s something wrong with your lungs. If you don’t take care of it right away, then you might have even more trouble later on. Usually, you’ll need drugs that help you breathe better and cure any infection. So I think seeing a pulmonologist as soon as possible would be the best thing to do.

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

Male | 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.

Hello doctor my name is Rakesh and I'm 17 year old,doctor from 5 to 6 days I have problem in breathing I breath properly from my nose but I feel it's not sufficient then I try hard for breathing then I fill a little lightness in chest

Male | 17

When you can't breathe easily through your nose and your chest is light, the symptoms might be asthma, anxiety, or even a lung infection. For a correct diagnosis, it is crucial to visit a pulmonologist. You can remain calm, sit up straight, and breathe slowly instead of this. If your symptoms get worse, you have to go to the doctor immediately.
