Cough syncope occurs when intense coughing temporarily reduces blood flow to the brain, causing fainting. To manage this, focus on controlling your cough with prescribed medications (like bronchodilators or anti-tussives) and avoid triggers. Consult a pulmonologist or neurologist to rule out underlying conditions like asthma, COPD, or arrhythmias.

I've been having this issue where I'm coughing up green and yellow phlegm for the past four days. It used to be white but then turned to green and yellow. My nose feels really congested, but I don't have a fever, fatigue, or any lethargy. I went through a CECT scan of my thorax earlier and everything came back normal, no abnormalities. Usually, this starts in the early morning and lasts through the night, but it doesn't disturb my sleep. Should I be worried, or is there something specific going on that I should get checked out?

take a course of antibiotic like amoxyclav for 5 days teice a day

Is there actually a long-term cure for asthma? I'm dealing with really uncomfortable chest tightness and shortness of breath. My doctor suggested using the Budetrol 200 Rotacap inhaler for a couple of months, and it helps, but if I skip it for a day or two, all my symptoms just come rushing back. It's frustrating, and I'm worried about relying on the inhaler indefinitely. What should I do? Any advice on this would be really appreciated.

Continue budetrol 200 rotacaps sos for breathing difficulty.
