Dealing with COPD can be challenging, even if you're a non-smoker. Feeling constantly tired and struggling with tasks like house cleaning can happen without much notice. COPD can be caused by air pollution, second-hand smoke, or genetic factors. To manage the condition, follow your doctor's prescribed medications, do breathing exercises, and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms.

Waking Up Choking: Sleep Apnea vs Acid Reflux?
The last 3 nights I have woken up choking for air. I'm really scared this night be sleep apnea although my symptoms are more like acid reflux. I'm 38 and very slim. Do you think this is a low chance?
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 27th Sept '24
At 20 and 130 pounds, sleep apnea is less likely but possible. However, acid reflux can cause similar choking feelings. Reflux happens when stomach acid backs up into the food pipe. To help: avoid heavy, spicy meals before bed. Raise the head of your bed. Eat smaller meals during the day. Talk to a pulmonologist if you're still concerned.

You've had a lingering cough for over two weeks. A stubborn cough can be caused by colds, asthma, allergies, or environmental irritants. Taking Spetrin for five days was a good first step, but if the cough persists, a different approach might be needed. Drink lots of fluids, and get plenty of rest. Consider seeing a pulmonologist for personalized advice.

These symptoms could be either a common cold or a stomach bug. The coughing may be provoking your throat and thus making you feel heavy in the head.

Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 24th Sept '24
Asthma is a condition where your lungs tighten, making it difficult to breathe normally. You might feel like you can't take a full breath because your airways narrow. An inhaler, prescribed by your doctor, contains medicine to help open those airways. It's important to keep your inhaler close and use it when your asthma flares up. Properly managing your asthma keeps you safe and healthy.
