I'm really worried and need some advice. Every morning when I gargle and cough, I end up vomiting, and there's blood in it. It's like clear sticky sputum with blood streaks. This mainly happens when I force myself to vomit after coughing once or twice, and I get a bloody taste in my throat. But if I don't cough and just vomit voluntarily on an empty stomach, there's no blood, just clear sticky mucus. Is this what they call pseudohemoptysis? Could this be happening because of trauma from coughing too hard? What should I do?

View allI'm really worried about my grandfather who was just admitted to the ICU after having a cerebral stroke. Now he's got pneumonia, and I noticed the doctor reduced his oxygen cylinder level from 8 to 5. Ever since, his SpO2 has been around 85. I'm trying to understand why the doctor would lower his oxygen like that, especially when his condition doesn't seem to be getting better. What could be the reason for this decision?

I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB about two months ago and was put on akt 4 treatment. After staying on the meds for two months, my latest AFB test came back negative and my X-ray looks good, so that's a relief. But here's what's bothering me: I occasionally feel kind of feverish like my body feels warm, but when I check my temperature with a thermometer, there's no fever. Is this something normal after being on TB treatment?
Yes episodes of fever are common during the treatment, continue the treatment for a minimum period of 6 months and eat healthy.

I'm feeling feverish for the past 10 days, and it's been really worrying me. Back on May 17th, I had a bad case of breathlessness, so I saw a pulmonologist who recommended some tests. My IGE test result was 528 and the absolute eosinophils count was 600. He also had me do a PFT and then prescribed Spirodin M and Budetrol400 inhaler. What's puzzling is this constant feverish feeling, though I don't have any body pain, headache, or breathing problemsno symptoms like corona, thankfully. It's mostly after eating, but it doesnt seem connected to any specific food. Do you think there's any other test I should do, or should I go visit another doctor? Would love any advice you might have.
