I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to tell the difference between a cough that's from an infection and one that's because of fluid in the lungs. At first, my doctor gave me antibiotics and cough syrup, but they didn't help my cough. Then, when my coughing got really bad, I saw another doctor who gave me Lasix, and that actually worked right away. So, is there a way to know if a cough is more likely from fluid in the lungs rather than an infection? It would really help to understand if there's a distinct difference so I can feel more sure about what's causing my cough.

I'm 25 and I've been experiencing some strange symptoms after meals. My heart feels like it's racing, and my ears get really hot. When I checked my blood pressure, it was around 170100. Do you know what might be causing this and what steps I should take?
This could be a sign of uncontrolled hypertension. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you should make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

I've been dealing with these ectopic palpitations for the last 8 months and it's really stressing me out. I went to a general physician who said it's nothing to worry about and it's just anxiety related. I have really bad cardiophobia anxiety. He put me on ciplar la 20, which helped a bit with the palpitations but they haven't completely gone away. I did a holter and an echo screening and showed them to a cardiologist. He said it's just anxiety too, but mentioned there was concentric LVH on the echo and a single ectopic on the holter. Should I be concerned about the concentric LVH and the single ectopic beat, or is it really just anxiety like everyone's saying?
Based on your symptoms and reports, I recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 20 for the ectopic palpitations. In addition, you may benefit from an anti-anxiety medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help manage your cardiophobia anxiety. It is also important to address the concentric LVH detected in the echo report. You can start taking Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the LVH. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
