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 (

I've had asthma for 15 years, and it's usually pretty mild. I've been using a Foracort inhaler 400 when needed. Lately, I've noticed that sometimes I feel like I'm breathing too fast and have some breathing issues, especially when I close my mouth. This only happens occasionally, and it's almost like I only notice it when I think about it. Also, just today, I started having a little dry cough and a slight irritation in my throat that feels bitter, but it's only when I cough. Should I be worried about these new symptoms, or is it just a passing thing? Would love your advice on what could be going on.

I've been dealing with bronchitis and it's really getting to me. Every time I see a doctor, it seems to help a little but then in just a week, I'm back to having a cough and feeling breathless again. It's really taking a toll on me. What could be causing these recurring symptoms? Is there something else I should be doing or asking my doctor about?
