I'm dealing with this constant tightness in my chest, and I've got some really stressful breathing. Sometimes I even get this sharp, localized pain, but it's weird because it doesn't always hit the same spot. It's been over a year now. The pain comes and goes, but the tightness and breathing issues just aren't letting up. I smoke a lot, and I know that's probably a big part of the problem. But until I figure out how to quit, do you have any medical advice that might help?

View allI'm pretty worried right now; I've been a smoker for the past 10 years but quit just last month. Since then, I've had a nosebleed once, but it stopped. However, about three weeks ago, I started experiencing heaviness and some gastric feelings in my heart, along with heart palpitations. The thing that's really freaking me out is seeing blood in my sputum in the mornings when I clean my throat. At first, it was like actual blood drops, but now it's just tiny, hair-like streaks. I'm also frequently getting that blood taste in my throat, and I've been burping a lot after eating or drinking. Lately, there are some black strains in my spit. I went through some tests like a chest X-ray, sputum AFB for TB, ECG, echo, and troponin test, and they were all normal. The arterial blood gases test and CBC, ESR, and ECG reports are attached. What could be going on with me?
You may be experiencing some complications related to your history of smoking. The presence of blood in your sputum, especially with a history of smoking, raises concerns for potential lung issues. Since your TB evaluation and other tests have come back normal, it is important to address the possibility of lung irritation or inflammation. Additionally, to help with the gastric symptoms and burping, you can take Esomeprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast. It is also important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further investigations such as a CT scan of the chest may be necessary to rule out any underlying issues.

My husband has been experiencing episodes of sighing and breathing difficulty. A month ago, it seemed to come and go, but recently it's gotten worse. We finally saw a doctor who said he has bronchitis, even though his ECG, sugar, and most test results were normal, apart from a bit of chest congestion and a high TLC indicating some infection. He's on Augmentin, montair fx, and Pantop D now, plus an inhaler. Im concerned because hes still sighing and Im just wondering if this is normal as he starts treatment. His oxygen saturation is at 97-98. Should I be worried or is there anything else we should be doing to help him get better?
Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice
