I'm really worried because I've been feeling this heaviness in my left upper area and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. It's getting really uncomfortable and annoying. I saw a cardiologist but they didn't find anything. To feel better, I sometimes have to take deep breaths through my mouth. Do you have any ideas on what could help or any medicine you can suggest?

I'm feeling kind of worried because I've been experiencing some heavy breathing on and off for a few days now. I have an allergy and I'm already taking montelukast tablets and using my inhaler with 250mg three times a day. The weird thing is, I don't have any trouble when I'm walking or jogging, and my oxygen levels are good at 98%. Could you help me understand what's going on?

continue the inhaler if symptoms exacerbated

I'm really worried about my friend who's been dealing with cough syncope. Initially, he was told to take Sercef CV 500 with Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid for six days, but that didn't help. Then a pulmonologist switched him to Azee 500 Azithromycin and Allegra 120, and it's been three days on those meds without any change. His chest X-ray and blood work are all okay, which is kind of confusing. He's been coughing for about 20 days now, and it's scary because he fainted three times today and hurt himself. An ENT he saw in the beginning gave him steroids but that also didnt work. We're really concerned, and Im just wondering what other options there might be to help him out?

It sounds like your friend is experiencing a persistent cough despite trying different medications. Since the chest x-ray and haemogram reports are normal, it's important to consider other possible causes for the cough. In this case, I would recommend consulting with a pulmonologist or a respiratory specialist for further evaluation. Your friend may benefit from a different approach to treatment, such as trying a different class of antibiotics or considering other underlying conditions that could be contributing to the cough. Additionally, it's important to monitor for any concerning symptoms such as fainting episodes and seek medical attention promptly if they persist. In the meantime, your friend can continue taking the prescribed medications as directed and ensure proper rest and hydration.

I've been around a lot of TB patients lately, and with them coughing near me, I'm starting to worry. Is there anything I should do or any medicine I can take to prevent getting exposed or infected again? I've already had TB two years ago, so I'm concerned because my immune system might still be compromised. What do you suggest?

wear mask if you are in that environment, repeat chest xray
