Am I experiencing shortness of breath?
Problem of short breathness,
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 16th Dec '24
Dyspnea can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, asthma, allergies, or an underlying heart or lung disease. Some of the more ordinary indications may be a feeling of contraction in your chest, a fast heartbeat, and a feeling as if you can't get enough air. It's very important to get to the heart of the matter. Simply trying out activities such as deep breathing exercises or keeping yourself in a state of calm and maintaining good body posture can help. Nevertheless, I suggest you consult a gynecologist to make a thorough check-up and offer you the help you need.

The symptoms you are giving are very understandable. Muscle pain and weakness after fever and colds sometimes occur, but if the pain and numbness are increasing, it is a problem. It can also happen because of neurological or muscular issues. Taking a little rest, making hydration, and doing some light stretching can be helpful. But most importantly, you should consult a pulmonologist who can accurately examination of your health and provide you with proper treatment.

Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 5th Dec '24
It seems that you might be suffering from symptoms like fever, cough, and sore throat which are normally linked to viral infections. These can be accommodated easily with proper care, drinking fluids, and using painkillers. Apart from medication, you can also try gargling with warm salt water to alleviate your sore throat. Apart from these, you should monitor your temperature and other symptoms very closely. If your fever persists to elevate, or if you have difficulty in breathing, I suggest that you consult a pulmonologist for proper treatment.

Answered on 4th Dec '24
Asthma and bronchitis are both breathing problems. These are symptoms of respiratory diseases such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, etc. Asthma is a condition that can be provoked by allergies, exercise, or cold weather, while bronchitis is mostly caused by viruses or smoking. It would be helpful to follow your medication regime, steer clear of triggers such as smoke or pollution, and live a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and regular exercise.

Answered on 3rd Dec '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.

Am I at Risk with Moderate MR Difficulty Breathing?
I am 28 years old i am Moderate MR patient i am facing difficulty in breathing nowadays
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 2nd Dec '24
With Moderate MR, the heart may very well be malfunctioning which is why your body has a difficult time getting the required oxygen. This might make you want to breathe faster, and you end up getting dizzy. You need to alert your doctor of the problem now so that your doctor can check you out and give you more effective medicine if it is necessary.

Answered on 2nd Dec '24
Coughing so hard together with chest pain can be due to one thing or another such as a bad cold flu, or pneumonia which could be even worse. To get through this better, make sure you get enough sleep, drink a lot of fluids, and consider using a humidifier. However, if your symptoms are the same, consult a pulmonologist.

Shortness of Breath: Adderall Connection and Concerns
Hi there. I am asking this because I have consulted with my doctor before, and then got a second opinion with another doctor before and was told it was probably nothing due to me being so young. I was never given an answer to what is possibly going on. I started taking prescribed adderall in July 2020 for ADHD and started to experience shortness of breath about a year and a half ago. My blood pressure is never high, usually around 118/72 but my resting heart rate is usually in the 90s. The “shortness of breath” feeling is how I can describe this feeling of needing to constantly take a deep breath, and most of the time the deep breaths aren’t satisfying. I have to sometimes reposition myself and sit up straight or lean forward, etc to get a good adequate deep breath. But even when I get a good deep breath, it doesn’t satisfy me enough to stop the urge. The “short of breath” feeling pretty much persists all day, it just comes and goes. I assume it correlates with the adderall. I experimented before and stopped taking my adderall for two weeks, and the short of breath feeling stayed days after I stopped taking the adderall. It stayed over a week of me quitting the adderall, and that was a year ago when I first experienced the symptoms. So I don’t know if it’s related to the adderall, or if it’s something else. I do occasionally have heart palpitations with or without adderall, although they are harmless. I do not have palpitations during the shortness of breath episodes. I do suffer from bad seasonal allergies, but currently I haven’t been feeling any of the usual seasonal allergy symptoms so I don’t know if I’m even in season yet. I don’t know if this is allergy related but I’m on prescription allergy medicine (singulair) and it is still happening. So I was wondering if this is a cause for concern or not? Do you think this could be cardiac related, or potentially something else? My dad does have extensive cardiac history but I am young and am not worried. I just do not want to overlook any potential concerns just because of my age. I have tried asking my doctors but I don’t want to keep switching doctors and have them not take me seriously, or think I’m being a dramatic person. I just want a fair answer based on my symptoms instead of getting a “you’re young I’m sure your fine” answer.

You've noticed a breathing issue for some time now. This recurring shortness of breath can feel scary. It stems from conditions like asthma, anxiety, or medication side effects like Adderall. Since your family has heart troubles, tell your pulmonologist. They could order tests to examine your heart or find other potential reasons.

Why Do I Have Cough with Mucus and Chest Block?
Could cough with mucus & Chest Block
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 30th Nov '24
This may be either a cold virus or a respiratory infection. The mucus you are coughing up is your body's mechanism of clearing out microbes. The liquids, humidifiers, cough medicine without a prescription, and the physician's instructions might assist you in handling the symptoms. You can drink fluids, use a humidifier, or take over-the-counter cough medicine to reduce the symptoms.
