I'm struggling with a chest cold that's making my chest feel so tight, and I'm having a hard time breathing properly. There's a wheezing sound too. I've tried everything like nebulizing and nerve injections, but nothing seems to help. It's still really tight. What else can I do or try to get some relief?

Based on your daughter's condition:
Key Concerns
- High creatinine levels: 2.3 is elevated, indicating impaired kidney function.
- High blood pressure (BP): Uncontrolled BP can further damage the single kidney.
- Single kidney by birth: Increased risk of kidney damage and disease progression.
Medication Review
- Olmezest 40: Olmesartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), helps control BP.
- Moxovas 0.3: Moxonidine, a central alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, helps lower BP.
- Folvite: Folic acid supplement, often prescribed for patients with kidney disease.
Recommendations
- Consult a nephrologist: A kidney specialist can provide personalized guidance and adjust medications as needed.
- BP monitoring and control: Regularly monitor BP and adjust medications to achieve optimal control (

View allI'm sharing my chest X-ray results from after I had COVID. Can you let me know if everything looks alright with my lungs, and if there's a chance they'll keep getting better? I've also attached the X-ray taken during COVID, about 30 days ago, for comparison.
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my chest X-ray results from a private lab. It showed some tiny calcifications, and they mentioned it's from an old condition. I'm afraid this might cause issues with my medicals, as I plan to go abroad soon. Is there any way to deal with this or get it removed? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I've been having some breathing issues for the past couple of years and it started when I was told I had a deviated septum. I even had surgery, but it didn't really help. The doctors back then suggested it might just be in my head. So I went to a chest specialist, and they mentioned it could be an allergy or mild allergic asthma. They put me on VilorF, but my breathing issues haven't gone away, especially when I'm sleeping. I can't lie on my right side or on my back, only on one side, which is tough. They also added Pantosec D to my routine, which I've been taking each morning on an empty stomach for 6 months now. Thing is, I've come down with a fever and had a really bad cough for a couple of days, and though the fever's gone, I'm struggling again with breathing since last evening. There's a kind of tightness in my chest and it's been really tough. I took the salbutamol inhaler once this morning, but I'm not sure what I should do next. Could this be related to the asthma or something else? Any advice would be super helpful.
continue salbutamol inhaler for 5 days and tablet dolo 650 mg for 3 days
