Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd July '24
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.

I am having chest discomfort and wheezing which can be felt my me only and not heard out . And I am having shortness of breath
Female | 21
Asthma makes breathing difficult. Your airways become inflamed and swollen. You feel tightness in your chest. Wheezing sounds happen as air struggles to pass through narrow pipes. Using an inhaler opens the airways. This allows air to flow freely. Breathing becomes easier, and more comfortable. Seeing a pulmonologist can properly diagnose asthma. Proper treatment helps manage symptoms.

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.

my chest hurts when i breathe & i have a bad cough
Female | 14
Pleurisy could be causing your chest pain while breathing and your bad cough. It occurs when the lining of the lungs becomes inflamed, often due to infections like pneumonia or colds. Make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and take ibuprofen for relief. Visit a pulmonologist if your symptoms worsen.

I am immune compromised and currently have Bronchitis. Today I've been using my pulseox seeing my O2 is mostly 82%-92% is this normal? My O2 has been 98%-100% until today.
Female | 32
Normally your normal B02 saturation level shouldn’t be bouncing between 82-92%. This is, in particular, a troubling case for someone whose immunity is compromised and who has chronic bronchitis. I advise you to seek help from a pulmonologist to carry out further evaluation and suggest treatment options.

Anxiety late night asthama attack
Female | 14
Late-night asthma attacks triggered by anxiety are not uncommon. When anxiety strikes, your body can react in unusual ways, leading to respiratory issues. Asthma symptoms can worsen, making it difficult to breathe. You might experience wheezing, persistent coughing, and a tight feeling in your chest. To manage anxiety, try calming techniques like deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation.

I have played national matches in boxing and wrestling. I had severe chest pain in May. If I show in the hospital, in the x-ray, it will show water in the chest, after fluid tapping, Tb will be found in that water, I was under a lot of mental stress. Because I have to take care of my house. I have been taking the medicine given by the doctor since one month, I have started boxing and wrestling training, I am feeling a little better but I am not feeling any strength in my body, can I take creatine to get strength? Please help me a little
Male | 26
Pneumothorax (TB) might be the water inside your chest. This is due to the fact that the immune system, when it is weak, can bring on the symptoms such as chest pain and tiredness. While taking medications as prescribed should be your priority, do not take creatine without your doctor’s approval because it may worsen your condition. However, for now, make sure you are resting enough, eating properly, and gradually getting back into your regular training routine.

Is it safe to use hyperneb 3%for steam inhalation?
Female | 22
It is not preferred to use the Hyperneb 3% for taking steam while it has a hypertonic saline solution that is for nebulization therapy. Humidifying steam can also be achieved by plain water or using a saline solution. If you accumulate to any respiratory problems, don't hesitate to see pulmonologists for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 22
These might be symptoms of asthma. Someone with asthma may find it difficult to breathe properly and they can also get chest pains. One needs to keep calm, sit upright, and use any prescribed inhalers if they have any. A person should also try to stay away from anything that might trigger an attack such as smoke or allergens. They can take warm drinks which will help them relax. If these signs continue or become worse then they need immediate medical attention.

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.

Breathing problems since 3-4 days only in night
Female | 20
Many people struggle with breathing issues at night. Nighttime breathing troubles arise from various causes. Common reasons include allergies, asthma, or a room filled with dust. Coughing, wheezing, and feeling short of breath often occur. To improve air quality, keep your bedroom clean and dust-free. Using an air purifier can also help. However, if problems persist, see a pulmonologist without delay. They can evaluate your condition and provide appropriate treatment.

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.

Want to know how it transfer tuberculosis from a patient who has been having treatment for more than 6 month to another working in the same team.
Male | 43
Tuberculosis spreads through the air from coughs or sneezes. If your teammate's treatment exceeds six months, transmission risk decreases. Watch for persistent coughing, fever, and weight loss. See a pulmonologist if symptoms arise. Cover coughs, wash hands frequently - good hygiene prevents TB spread.

I am having cough which looks more allergic. And phlegm and wheezing sound only appears when I coughs. It's like someone is choking you when you have the cough. It really hurts my throat and head while coughing. And sometimes maybe due to my panic, cough results in cough syncope. I also have antral gastritis. I have been diagnosed with bronchitis 6 months back. My chest Xray shows only small prominence in right lungs and rest is normal. CT is normal, XRay is normal. Only my TLC count is elavated to 17000 and however eosphil and basophil count is normal. I am slightly anemic. According to my doc, my body is unable to absorb iron. My O2 and BP all are normal during my cough episode. However, I feel tremor throughout my body and sometimes my hands and legs become pale while I cough. I am perfectly normal if I don't have the cough episodes. I also has slight GERD maybe due to antral gastritis.

Difficulty in breathing while walking eating,working.Taking deep breaths frequently, also nasal blockage
Male | 23
You're struggling to breathe properly, needing deep breaths frequently, especially during activity, meals, or work. A blocked nose can also make breathing difficult. Allergies, asthma, or respiratory infections could cause these symptoms. To help, try using a humidifier, avoiding dust or pet dander triggers, and keeping your nose clear with saline sprays. However, if these don't improve things, consulting a pulmonologist is crucial for personalized advice addressing your specific condition.

You are already in a group with a cough for quite a long time, and you just began to observe blood in your mucus. When there is blood mixed with mucus, it could be due to different reasons such as a severe cough, bronchitis, or even a lung infection. Visit a pulmonologist to know the real reason and the proper treatment.

i am 39 years old having vertigo allergic bronchitis
Female | 39
You have been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis, which is causing coughing and dizziness. The dizziness you're feeling, known as vertigo, makes it seem like everything around you is spinning. Allergic bronchitis happens when your bronchial tubes react to allergens like dust and pollen. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help with the cough and dizziness. It's also helpful to avoid triggers like smoking or strong perfumes.
