You could have sle­ep apnea, where­ breathing stops briefly during slumber. Classic signs: waking ofte­n at night, feeling breathle­ss before slee­p. It's vital to consult a physician, who'll propose remedie­s. Side sleeping or spe­cial masks frequently ease­ the issue.

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.

Your case might be pneumonia. It can make you cough up thick, pinkish mucus and can also cause pain in the left part of the chest when you lie down. You might also have trouble breathing while sleeping. Pneumonia is an infection that triggers inflammation in the air sacs in your lungs. You have to refer a pulmonologist for the best diagnosis and treatment.

Coughing can result from various reasons such as a cold or allergies. Ensure that you drink plenty of fluids and try a humidifier in your bedroom. If it does not go away after a few days, visit a general physician or pulmonologist.

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

Thick spit and coughing? Having trouble breathing too? It could be excess phlegm, wheezing, or maybe a cold, allergies, or asthma. Keep your surroundings clean, drink plenty of water, and use a humidifier. If you're still having difficulty, consult a pulmonologist for assistance.

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.

Some of the symptoms of asthma are shortness of breath, chest tightness, fatigue, and anxiety. It is not possible to breathe freely with asthma. The reason for this is mostly the swelling in the airways. To manage this your doctor may prescribe inhalers and medications. To get the appropriate treatment the best thing to do is to see the pulmonologist.

You have recently caught a cold. Infections can lead to tiredness, headaches, and even fever as a result of a virus, such as the one that causes colds. To recover from your illness, you should mainly rest, drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps use some over-the-counter medications to ease your symptoms.

When you show symptoms such as a fever, cough, and CRP levels that are too high, it might mean there is a serious infection in your body. The high platelet count may also be a sign of inflammation. It's vital to stick strictly to your doctor's instructions since they are most probably dealing with an infection at the moment. Keep them updated on any shifts in your symptoms, or if you're feeling worse. Rest, drink a lot of water, and take the medications as prescribed. If you see any signs of your symptoms worsening, contact a pulmonologist immediately.

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.
