I've been dealing with a really bad cough that gets worse at night, but it's milder during the day. Its been about a week now, and Im really starting to get worried. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do to find some relief?

For nighttime cough, you can try taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night to help with the cough and improve sleep quality. For daytime relief, you can consider taking Robitussin DM (dextromethorphan and guaifenesin) to help suppress the cough during the day. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for both medications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'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?
Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

I'm really concerned about this issue I've been having. A couple of years ago, I was in a room with some agarbati burning, and after about an hour, I started having chest pain and an itchy nose, followed by shortness of breath. It took me a few days to recover from that, and ever since, I've noticed that I get the same symptoms if I'm around any smoke, like from agarbati or mosquito repellents. I saw a pulmonologist back then, and he gave me some meds that seemed to help over time, but he never said it was asthma. I'm wondering now if I've developed asthma or if these are just triggers since I feel fine otherwise. I'm a bit anxious because I'm about to take a flight soon, and I'm not sure how to handle it if something similar happens at such a high altitude. Could you give me any advice or insights on what I might be dealing with and how to prepare for the flight?
anxiety or stress issue , you can go
