I'm having some trouble breathing, and I got my blood test results back showing my eosinophils are at 7.3. I had a chest X-ray done too, but it came back normal. Could the eosinophil levels be related to my breathing issues even though the X-ray didn't show anything? What does this mean for my health?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your eosinophil count of 7.3% indicates a high level, which could be related to allergies, asthma, or parasitic infections. Since your chest X-ray is normal, it is less likely to be a serious lung issue. I recommend taking a short course of an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with any allergic reactions causing your breathing trouble. Additionally, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 100mcg for quick relief if needed. If symptoms persist, follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI've been having this really intense pain on the upper right side of my chest when I wake up in the morning, and it's got me a bit worried. I'm not sure if it's my lung or something else, but it's bad enough that I can't really move until later in the day when it seems to get a bit better. Could this be something serious or just how I'm sleeping? Any advice on what I can do to stop it from happening?
It sounds like the pain might be related to muscle strain or poor posture during sleep, especially if it improves as the day goes on. However, if it persists or worsens, its important to get checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying issues, such as lung or heart problems. In the meantime, try adjusting your sleep posture and incorporating stretches to relieve tension.

I'm really worried because for the last couple of months I've been noticing dark blood streaks in my sputum, mostly in the morning or sometimes throughout the day. It's really concerning me, especially since I only see these streaks when I blow my nose and spit. The ENT I visited said my throat is inflamed and gave me a nasal spray and something called drez gargling. Even after seeing a pulmonologist and getting all sorts of tests like x-rays, blood tests, sputum tests, and urine tests, everything came back normal. I was given styptocid tablets and zady 250 mg for a few days, but the issue is still there. I dont even have a cough. What steps should I take next?

I'm dealing with this dry cough that just won't go away. It's been ages, and nothing seems to come up when I cough. I've already gone to the hospital and got tested. The docs gave me some tablets and did an X-ray too. But even after all of this, the cough hasnt stopped. One of the doctors mentioned it's not TB and said my chest looks clear. So what else could be causing this? I'm 26, don't smoke, and only drink alcohol on rare occasions and in small amounts. Just trying to figure out what's going on here.
That could be either allergic bronchitis or pharyngitis, visit Physician for appropriate management and consume warm liquids and fruits for better healing.
