These symptoms might be­ connected to heart proble­ms or side effects from your me­dicines. When you can't breathe we­ll, it could mean your heart or lungs aren't working the­ir best. Go see­ a pulmonologist soon to figure out what's causing it and find a solution.

It sounds like you're experiencing significant distress both mentally and physically. Since you're facing shortness of breath and dizziness along with mental health struggles, it's essential to seek medical help promptly. Anxiety or any cold-like respiratory virus might be causing these symptoms. It is imperative to take care of yourself. You can try breathing exercises, take a rest, and talk to someone. If you are still not feeling well, make sure you reach out to our nearest pulmonologist or psychiatrist for a counseling session.

It looks like your sister has started to feel a little strange after having a bronchoscopy done which is a procedure used for checking the airways in the lungs. The prickling sensations, red hands, and other things might mean that the nerves are getting pinched or there is swelling somewhere. She needs to see a pulmonologist so they can find out what’s wrong with her. They might have some tests done or give her some medicine for it depending on how bad off she is.

This can cause symptoms such as coughing, chest pains, and coughing up blood. Persons under TB medication are not encouraged to use creatine or whey proteins since it alter how the body responds to the drugs. Concentrate on the treatment plan provided by your doctor and also eat a balanced diet that will help in fighting the infection. Continue going to the gym but don’t take any supplements that may affect the healing process of TB within your body.

These might be signs of acid reflux, which occurs when stomach acid flows back into the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. To alleviate these symptoms, try eating smaller meals, staying away from spicy foods, and not lying down immediately after eating. Drinking water might also help. However, if they persist, it would be best to consult with a doctor.

These signs may follow an RSV attack. RSV is a virus which affects the lungs and breathing. Sometimes heat in the chest and back is caused by swelling of the airways. Taking a lot of fluids and rest will enable your body to recover. However, if these signs persist or worsen, it is necessary to see a pulmonologist for further advice.

The flu is caused by a virus, not bacteria. It can make you feel sick with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches. Since taking Tamiflu is not in the picture anymore, it is vital that you take good rest, drink lots of water, and take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help get rid of the symptoms. These help to relieve illness and severe pain. Make sure to stay at home and avoid infecting other people with flu.

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

TB, a common shorthand term for tuberculosis, is a life-threatening disease caused by bacteria that mainly affect the lungs. Humans with TB might experience, amongst others, the following peculiar signs: prolonged cough, chest pain, losing weight, and fatigue. The transmission occurs when a TB patient coughs or sneezes with a built-in airway and thus spreads the bacteria from person to person.

Why is my son's cough not improving?

আমার ছেলের কাশী কিছুতেই সারছে না, কখনও বেশি হয়, কখনও আবার একদম বন্ধ হয়ে যায়, প্রায় 1 বছর ধরে হচ্ছে, চেস্ট x Ray করা হয়েছে, কোনো প্রবলেম নেই। আবহাওয়া খারাপ হলে কাশী বাড়ে আবার কমে যায়। অন্য কোনো প্রবলেম নেই। খেলাধুলা করলে বা সাইকেল চালালে কাশী একদম হয় না। বসে থাকলে কখনও কখনও হয়।

It sounds like your son's cough is persistent and fluctuates in intensity, regardless of a chest x-ray showing no issues. Weather changes seem to affect it, with worsening during bad weather. Surprisingly, no coughing during physical activities like sports or cycling, but sometimes occurs when sitting. It might be worth exploring further with a pulmonologist to understand the underlying cause.

If you have been coughing for over a month, it could mean something more serious happening. Sometimes people get headaches when they cough because of the pressure in their head. The most common reasons why a cough lasts a long time are infections such as bronchitis or even asthma. You should see a pulmonologist so that they can find out what is wrong and give you the right treatment.

It appears that you may be experiencing some worrying side effects as a result of using beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol sulfate rotocaps for your asthma. Rapid weight loss, reduced penis size, and low semen volume can be linked to these drugs’ long-term usage. These particular adverse reactions are probably caused by the steroids contained in the medication affecting your system. Hence, you should inform your physician about them so they can prescribe you a more suitable treatment plan for your asthma which won’t have these effects. Besides, the doctor might also recommend ways of gaining weight and supporting overall well-being.

These are all signs of some breathing bug like cold or flu. Right now what will help most is to drink plenty of liquids, stay in bed as long as possible, and take something like Tylenol for the pain. If you don’t start feeling better soon or if things get worse instead, then go to a doctor to take a look at what’s going on with your body.

Answered on 23rd May '24

If you start to cough, become breathless soon after, and get a fever with a dry cough, that might be the reason for lung infections like pneumonia. The cough might happen periodically. These germs such as bacteria and viruses are to blame for it. Taking rest, drinking enough fluids, and talking to a doctor for help are the treatment steps which can include antibiotics if it is bacterial. Be sure to get a lot of rest and drink plenty of fluids.
