Question 1

I'm really worried about my Bronco pneumonia. I've had it since I was a kid, and I've heard different things from different doctors. Some say it's due to allergies and might get better with time, while others feel the weather where I live isnt right for me. I even moved to see if that would help, but I'm still having asthma problems. Anytime I get a little cold, the coughing starts and my asthma flares up. I've been using Asthalin to manage it. Do I have to live with this for the rest of my life? Is there anything else I could try or look into?

Accepted Answer

if you have symptoms,yes you should take

Question 2

I'm really curious and a bit worried because I've been having digestion issues and noticed blood in my stool. My CT scan of the whole abdomen came back normal except it showed something called subsegmental atelectasis in the posterobasal segment of my left lower lobe. I've also been experiencing shortness of breath. I consulted a pulmonologist, did an x-ray, spirometry, and Spo2, and all those tests were normal. He mentioned it might just be anxiety, and I have had anxiety for about 45 years now. I'm wondering if anxiety could really be causing these symptoms, or if there's something else I should look into?

Accepted Answer

do not worry, you are just having anxiety. relax and reduce your stress

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with COPD after smoking for 35 years, but he quit cigarettes three years ago. He also had CAD and underwent CABG three years back. He's on medication for his heart, and all his tests are coming back normal now. For COPD, he used to take Fluticasone, Salmeterol, and Tiotropium Bromide but these days, he's just on Seroflo 250 BD. The issue we're having is with nighttime  as soon as he lies down to sleep, he starts producing sputum and has to cough it up. He doesn't have problems sitting up, and there's no orthopnea or nocturnal apnea, just sputum, so he's been taking Levocetirizine and Montelukast for that. I'm wondering if we should add back TIOVA? Also, is it okay for him to use Monticope daily? And with his substernal hernia, is it still safe for him to do his breathing exercises by lifting the ball? Would really appreciate some guidance.

I'm thinking about taking Deriphyllin tablets along with Prednisolone tablets. I'm a bit worried if there might be any interactions or side effects when these two medications are taken together. Could you help clarify this for me?
