I've been dealing with a really bad cold and cough for a week now, and my nose is constantly running. It's making it hard to breathe, and the chest pain is pretty severe. I saw a general physician, but there's been no relief. The coughing and cold are making so much mucus build up, and the pain in my chest is unbearable. I'm feeling really weak and just can't shake this cold. What should I do?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. Hes been having chest pain and finds it hard to breathe when hes walking for a long time, plus hes got this feverish feeling and a cough. The doctor did an ECG and an echo, and while the ECG came back normal and theyve given him something for the pain, which has helped, the echo showed he's got severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. Im not sure what to do next. Should we be talking to a pulmonologist to get to the bottom of this, or is this PAH thing not something to be too worried about?
The presence of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) as mentioned in the echo cardiography report is a serious concern that should not be ignored. In this case, it is advisable to consult a pulmonologist for further evaluation and management of the PAH. The pulmonologist may recommend specific medications to help manage the condition and improve your father's symptoms. One common medication used for PAH is Sildenafil (Revatio), which helps to relax the blood vessels in the lungs and improve blood flow. Additionally, it is important to address the ongoing symptoms of troubled breathing, fever feeling, and cough. Your father may benefit from a bronchodilator such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) to help with breathing difficulties, along with an antibiotic if the cough is due to a respiratory infection. Overall, it is essential to follow up with a pulmonologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your father's specific condition. Regular monitoring and management of PAH are crucial to prevent further complications and improve quality of life.

I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the past two days, and now I'm okay, but I'm having a lot of trouble breathing, and my cough is pretty bad. I was taking zentocol and paracetamol as my doctor suggested, but just a while ago, I started getting really dizzy and my chest is making a Gur Gur sound. Plus, there's this weird stuff coming out when I cough. What should I do next?
