Shortness of breath, especially worsening at night, can be concerning. Given your normal heart tests and cholesterol levels, it might indicate other factors such as anxiety, allergies, or even respiratory issues. It's good that your oxygen levels are stable. A thorough evaluation, including a chest X-ray and possibly a treadmill test (TMT), can provide more insights. I recommend you consult your pulmonologist for further assessment, as they can guide you through appropriate next steps and ensure your well-being.

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.

Hello dr I am Suraj Gond from Azamgarh Up .I am suffering from cough and cold near about 5 days now time I feel some coughblood near about 3 days.tell me some ideas.

Male | 24

The problem you've got could be a respiratory infection. Coughing up blood or hemoptysis is when your blood vessels in the airways are irritated thus, the blood is released. Rest. Drink. Fluids. A hard no for smoking and polluted air. You can also use a humidifier, it will moisturize your throat and alleviate your cough. Nevertheless, in case the symptoms persist, or get worse, you are to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.

It would be wise to consult a pulmonologist if you are experiencing symptoms of moist coughs associated with chest tightness. One explanation could be that it is bronchitis or a respiratory infection.

Having productive coughing for years and in black and white colour

Male | 39

Chronic coughing over extended periods and dark phlegm need medical attention to identify their causes which can be chronic bronchitis or lung cancer. A prompt visit to pulmonologist is strongly suggestable in case one experiences such severe symptoms. In a timely manner, treatment and help can be effective and bring about better results as well as enhanced qualities of life.

I have asthma but no inhaler and I want to start track and field in my school. What should I do?

Female | 14

Sports if you are asthmatic and lack of inhaler can turn out to be a dangerous affair. Asthma is a disease that can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, and compactness of the chest among other things. Physical activities can provoke an asthma attack. In your situation, it would be dangerous to do track and field without an inhaler. Warn your parents or school nurse about your asthma and request them to help you get an inhaler before beginning track and field.

Hi I have asthma and i have been quite breathless tonight could you help please

Female | 29

 Asthma inflames and narrows airways, making breathing difficult. Use­ your inhaler as directed. Sit straight and bre­athe slowly, deeply. If still struggling, se­ek medical help or go to the ER. Control asthma with re­gular check-ups and medications.

What happens if I marry a girl with asthma?

Male | 28

Marrying someone with asthma can be a loving and supportive experience. Asthma is often characterized by breathlessness, wheezing, or tightness in the chest, typically triggered by allergens, exercise, or respiratory infections. Having asthma under control is essential; medications and lifestyle adjustments can significantly improve quality of life. Encouraging your partner to follow a treatment plan, avoid triggers, and maintain regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can be beneficial. Open communication about their condition fosters understanding and helps manage potential challenges.
