Question

I'm a bit concerned because the patient who's on TB medication seems to have an issue. Every time they eat an apple, their cough gets worse. Could you suggest alternative foods that might not trigger coughing like apples do?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with shortness of breath, chest pain, sinus infections, and fatigue for the last four months. I've seen three doctors, but nothing seems to be working for me. I've tried medications like doxycycline, azithromycin, montelukast, deflazacort, trystep D, gudacef antibiotics, bronchodilators, and fluticasone nasal spray, but the allergy is just getting worse. My IgE levels have jumped from 250 in June to 1100 in September, and one of my nostrils is always blocked due to the sinus issue. I'm constantly tired and at random times my chest hurts. My X-ray, blood test, and ferritin levels are all normal, but nobody has done a PFT because of COVID. Why is this happening and what should I do next?

Question

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, especially when I go up the stairs. It feels like I'm getting out of breath really quickly. Can you tell me what test I should get to figure out what's going on?

Question

I've been experiencing this bizarre sensation latelywhenever I try to lift something heavy, my lungs start to hurt and my breathing gets all rapid. It feels like my lungs are almost trying to escape out my mouth, and it's honestly pretty scary. Could you recommend any effective medication to help with this? I'm looking for some relief and would appreciate your advice.
