I'm dealing with cough syncope and it's happening to me every single day. I can't seem to find any doctors or treatments for this issue, and it's really concerning me. How can I get help for this condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been having fever, weakness, and a cough, and we're concerned because his CRP levels are pretty high at 48 mg, and his hemoglobin is really low, just 5.4 mg. The local doctor mentioned it's a chest infection and recommended antibiotics along with glucose. I'm not sure how serious this might be or if there might be other treatment options we should consider. Can you help us understand what might be going on and what steps we should take next?
go head with antibiotics and consult physician for anemia

I've been having shortness of breath for the past two months and it started really suddenly. At first, I was also dealing with back pain and lung pain along with a feeling of tightness. Now it's mostly just the shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my left lung. My lung X-ray came back normal and the EEG report was fine too. The doctor didn't prescribe any medicine, but I'm still struggling with shortness of breath. What could be going on, and should I be concerned about this?
