Question 1

I'm a bit worried as I recently got a PFT report back, and it mentioned something about Small Airway Obstruction. I've also been dealing with this chronic cough for a while now. Should I be concerned about this? Are there any other tests I should consider doing to get a clearer picture of what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

Question 2

I'm a 28-year-old woman who works out regularly. My mom has a pulse oximeter at home and I decided to use it just for fun. When I was resting, my blood oxygen level was 99, but after a short run on the treadmill it went down to 86. My heart rate was only around 130. Usually, I work out a lot more intensely than I did during this test. I'm worried that I might unknowingly be harming my body. Do you think I should get this checked? If so, what kind of doctor would be best for evaluating this situation?

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be concerned, but a drop in oxygen saturation during exercise, especially at high intensity, can happen, particularly if you're pushing your limits. I recommend seeing a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to evaluate your lung and heart function. They can conduct tests like a stress test or pulmonary function test to assess your oxygen levels and overall health during exertion.

Question 3

I'm having a really hard time breathing, and my neck on the right side hurts. It's my back and side too, making it impossible to lay down. This has been happening for a while. Can you help me figure out why this is happening or what I should do? I'm 16, and it's just getting worse. I've tried using heat and cold, but nothing's working. Any advice?

I'm taking Montek LC, usually half a tablet at night, but sometimes I get shortness of breath during the day. Is it okay to take another half tablet in the morning too if that happens?

Montek LC is typically taken once a day, and it's best to follow your doctor's instructions. If you're experiencing shortness of breath or choking during the day, it's important to consult your doctor to discuss adjusting the dosage or considering an alternative treatment.
