Question 1

What are the 4 types of hypoxia?

Accepted Answer

The four types are as follows: (1) the hypoxemic type, in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the hemoglobin. (2) the anemic type, in which the amount of functional hemoglobin is too small, and hence the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen is too low. (3) the stagnant type, in which the blood is or may be normal but the flow of blood to the tissues is reduced or unevenly distributed. (4) the histotoxic type, in which the tissue cells are poisoned and are therefore unable to make proper use of oxygen.

Question 2

I'm really worried because this morning, while I was brushing my teeth, I coughed really hard and noticed blood in my spit. It looked like clotted blood, thick and red. And the more I coughed, the more blood came up, which wasnt happening yesterday. I had my last meal at midnight because of work. Could you help me figure out why Im seeing blood when I cough in the morning?

Accepted Answer

That could be due to trauma while brushing.check if its happening the next day also,if it happens so,visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

Question 3

I'm dealing with asthma, high blood pressure, and urticaria, and I'm a bit concerned about what's going on right now. I'm 39 years old, not married, and honestly, I've been struggling with my weight at 113kg with a height of 169 cm. For 7 years, I've been on Stamlo 5 mg and Cetzine, but recently I ran into some trouble with severe ulcer issues and took Esogress D for that. Just a few days back, I saw a pulmonologist because I was having a rough time with my asthmalots of chest congestion and coughing. They prescribed Formoflo 250 mg inhaler, Telekast LAB Flo SR 200mg, Ivepred 8mg, and Pantaacid DSR 40 mg. I even had to get nebulized for quick relief when I was in the hospital. But now, with these new asthma meds, I'm feeling weird. I'm sweating even with the AC on, my stomach feels uneasy and burns at times, and my hand is a bit shaky. Plus, there's this odd blood-gushing sensation in my left hand and leg, and I'm slightly giddy and finding it hard to concentrate. I did an ECG and echocardiogram two months back, and everything was okay, even did a TMT. Any idea what's going on with me?

Accepted Answer

Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

I've been dealing with a cough for about 20 days now. It's gotten a bit better, but my x-ray showed something called bilateral broncho vascular prominence. Can you explain what that means? What should I do next? I'm kinda worried about it.

That could be non specific bronchitis no need to worry consume warm foods and take tab. montair Lc daily night for 10 days that would help you
