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.

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.

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.

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.

Your friend has extra fluid around the lungs, on both sides. It's called moderate right pleural effusion and bilateral lung fluid. This makes breathing difficult, causes chest pain, and coughing. Leaving it untreated may be dangerous. The causes could be infections or heart issues. Draining the fluid or taking medicines might help, depending on why it happened. It's crucial your friend visits a pulmonologist for proper tests and treatment.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me Salbutamol inhaler, lesetrin lukastin, bronchodilator Ansimar for allergies. I used these drugs yesterday. I masturbated today. Does masturbation affect these drugs? Does masturbation damage the bronchi?
Kişi | 30
Taking the meds your doctor gave for breathing trouble and allergies is key for managing symptoms. About your question on self-pleasure, it doesn't affect those meds or hurt your air tubes. Self-pleasure is normal and doesn't damage the lungs. Follow your doctor's advice and take meds as instructed. If worried about your health, talk openly with a pulmonologist.

Snoring and breathing problems at night
Male | 25
Air passage through your nose and throat gets obstructed when snoring. This could stem from allergies, excess weight, or nasal congestion. Nighttime breathing difficulties may arise from sleep apnea or asthma. Try sleeping sideways, keeping your room cool and airy, and avoiding heavy meals and alcohol before bedtime. If these don't help, consult a pulmonologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

These symptoms might be caused by a viral infection like the flu or a bacterial infection like pneumonia. Sometimes the body needs stronger medicines to fight these infections. You should consult a pulmonologist for the correct diagnosis and the treatment that fits your condition personally.

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.

Feeling weak and struggling to breathe? You might have asthma, which narrows your airways and makes breathing difficult. Or perhaps it's a panic attack, which can cause breathing trouble. Stay calm, sit down, and breathe slowly. If it persists, seek help from a pulmonologist.

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.

The symptoms you mentioned, such as hoarseness, difficulty speaking, and ear pain, could be post-viral laryngitis. It is one of the possible post-viral complications following a viral infection like COVID. Make sure to rest your voice, drink plenty of fluids, and steer clear of irritants such as smoking. If the symptoms do not go away, it is a good idea to visit an ENT specialist for a more detailed examination and treatment.
