Hey, I've been dealing with chronic nasal polyps for a while now, and I'm starting to get a bit concerned. Is it possible that these polyps could cause an increase in the pressure in my pulmonary artery? I'm curious because I heard that could be a complication, but I'm not entirely sure. Any thoughts on this?

Chronic nasal polyps can sometimes be associated with a condition called Samter's triad, which includes nasal polyps, asthma, and aspirin sensitivity. In severe cases, this condition can lead to a rare but serious complication known as pulmonary hypertension. Treatment may involve medications such as montelukast (Singulair) to help manage asthma symptoms and potentially prevent complications like pulmonary hypertension. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

View allI woke up yesterday with a weird thing happening. When I tried to clear my throat, like ahkkk, and spat it out, I noticed some blood stains. Then I checked in the mirror and saw two dark red blobs of blood stuck at the back of my throat. I was freaking out. It didn't bleed after that until the evening when I saw another blob stuck there, but it didn't come out. I'm super anxious about this. Am I okay, or is something serious going on? I noticed my nose is often dry, and when I clean it, there's some blood. Plus, I've got burping and acidity issues and have been having trouble speaking loudly or even wanting to talk much. I've had a sore throat for the past ten days too. What's happening with me?

I've been having some blood in my mucus the past couple of mornings, and it's making me pretty anxious. I've had a cough and cold recently, and I'm wondering if that could be causing it. I'm also a smoker, and I traveled to higher altitudes last week. Could any of these be the reason for the blood? I'm really nervous about going to the doctor and getting tested. What do you think I should do?
Yes that could be due to ongoing cold and cough,no need to worry that will heal simultaneously with flu symptoms.

I've been having a mildly sore throat pretty frequently these days, and I've found that gargling with betadine really helps. But I'm a bit concerned and curious - is it safe to use betadine for gargling every night, or could there be any long-term issues with using it often? Would love to get your thoughts on this.
Using Betadine for gargling every night can be safe for short periods of time. However, prolonged and frequent use may lead to irritation of the throat and oral mucosa. It is recommended to use it for a maximum of 7-14 days. If your symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
