A throat infection could be causing your breathing issues. Swollen glands create pressure in the throat, and coughing helps clear germs. Drinking warm water, resting, and gargling with salt water can relieve discomfort. If symptoms persist, see a pulmonologist.

You might also have trouble breathing while sleeping. Pneumonia is an infection that triggers inflammation in the air sacs in your lungs.

You are right in saying that you have certain concerns regarding the application of creatine and whey protein while undergoing tuberculosis treatment. Normally, creatine and whey protein supplements are safe when taken safely, but in your scenario, you should be more cautious. TB treatment would require specific medicines to help do their job. The consumption of creatine and whey protein may interfere with the absorption of these drugs, or in other words, decrease the strength of drugs. It is also crucial that you do not deviate from the exact set of actions the medic tells you to because, in your place, your health is the top priority. Once the chemo treatment is done, you might consider the idea of taking these supplements as directed by your pulmonologist.

Chest discomfort and wheezing, shortness of breath
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
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 4th Sept '24
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.

Snoring and breathing problems at night
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 28th Aug '24
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.

Dr. Shweta Bansal

Answered on 28th Aug '24
Asthma causes breathing difficulties like chest pain and shortness of breath. If you use your inhaler and feel better, that medicine is opening your airways. However, when symptoms return, it may mean asthma isn't fully controlled. You likely need to see a pulmonologist who can adjust your treatment plan. The right treatment helps manage asthma symptoms properly.
