Is coffee good for lungs?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
From limited research done, coffee consumption was associated with some positive effects on the respiratory system. Few small studies have shown coffee was associated with reduction of asthma and coffee with natural honey was effective for persistent post-infectious cough. There was however limited available evidence to establish its effects.

Coffee and Lung Health:
- Coffee contains caffeine, which can have bronchodilator effects, potentially aiding in opening airways temporarily.
-
Moderation:
- For a 45-year-old male, moderate coffee consumption is generally safe and may offer slight benefits for lung function.
-
Considerations:
- Underlying Conditions: If there are lung issues like asthma or COPD, coffee might provide mild relief but should not replace treatments.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking cessation, exercise, and a healthy diet are more impactful on lung health than coffee.
-
Conclusion:
- Moderate coffee drinking is unlikely to harm lung health and might offer slight benefits. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice if there are specific concerns.

View allI've been dealing with this tight feeling in my chest and rib pain whenever it's cold. A nurse mentioned it might be asthma or a bad cold allergy. They suggested ventolin tablets, but those just make me feel weak. What could be causing this and what should I consider doing about it?

My father recently had aneurysm surgery and also has a hernia along with diabetes. His doctors suggested a sleep study, which showed he has sleep apnea. Now we're not sure which specialist to see for this should it be a pulmonologist, neurologist, or physician? He already has multiple health issues, so we want to make sure we consult the right doctor for his sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is best managed by a pulmonologist; they coordinate CPAP therapy and monitor breathing—important especially with heart and diabetic issues.

I'm really worried because my latest x-ray showed water in my right lung. I've been dealing with a dry cough and a bit of chest pain when I take a deep breath for the past 8 weeks. Could this be a sign of tuberculosis?
