Question 1

I've been dealing with some health issues lately and I'm getting pretty concerned. I'm 28 and moved to Bangalore about a year ago. I was diagnosed with Acute Urticaria back in July 2017, and it was manageable with medicine. But then, around May or June this year, I started noticing asthma-like symptoms creeping in, and now theyre happening all the time. The smallest amount of dust sets it off, or if the AC is turned off at work or home. Even laughing, which I used to do a lot, or sneezing, or talking fast triggers an episode. I've had heartburn a lot too and it seems to be linked to the asthma. I use Asthalin to help with the severe episodes. For the last couple of weeks, I've been waking up after only about 3 hours of sleep because I can't breathe well. I'm really worried about my health getting worse, so I'm wondering if there's any way to cure this. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

I've been noticing that ever since 2018, whenever I have my first spit in the morning, there's been a little blood in it. It's been happening for a couple of years now. Sometimes it's just a tiny amount and other times a bit more. I went for a full health check-up in October 2019, and my chest X-ray came back normal, so now I'm wondering, could this be a sign of something serious?

Accepted Answer

Could be due to Gerd and reflux. Need more detail history from you

I'm having some trouble breathing, but both my chest X-ray and ECG came back normal. They mentioned there's a bit of congestion, and I'm on medication for that. The thing is, my oximeter is reading my oxygen level at 91. Should I be worried about this?
