Question 1

I'm having this really bothersome dry cough, and it seems to get worse when I'm under a ceiling fan or in an air-conditioned room. I don't notice it as much when the room temperature is normal though. Also, the mucus I cough up is white. Could it be something to do with excess heat in my body? I'm worried and would love any suggestions on what kind of medicines might help with this.

Accepted Answer

allegra m at night for one week and try to avoid irritants causing discomfort

Question 2

I've been trying to wrap my head around the possibility of having asthma. I'm 30 and just got some tests done - like the x-ray and CT pulmonary angiogram - and they both came back normal. I also did a Spirometry test, and my FVC and FeV1 values were above 110, which should be a good sign, right? The doc mentioned I have a mild wheezing sound now and then, but not always. I even did a six-minute walking test with jogging, and my spo2 levels before and after were 99 and 98. I usually climb four floors, do brisk walking, jogging, and some skipping exercises without feeling breathless, although sometimes I think I might get breathless, but it never really happens. Should I be worried about asthma, or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

do stress test and rule out the other conditions

Question 3

I'm having some troubles with my breathing and I'm feeling really worried. It's like I can't take a deep breath properly and my brain feels like it's not functioning properly. I've been feeling constantly tired and my head feels pressured, almost like the oxygen isn't reaching my brain even though I'm breathing normally. It's a consistent issue that just doesn't go away. Could there be something wrong with how the oxygen is getting to my brain? I'm really looking for some guidance on this. Please help me understand what's going on.
