Question 1

I'm dealing with an itchy throat and a tight feeling in my chest for the past four months. I've tried acidity meds, but nothing seems to work. I'm wondering if spondylitis could be causing these issues. I also feel like my anxiety has ramped up because of the whole COVID situation, which might be making it worse. And sometimes, it feels like I can't take deep breaths properly. Could you please give me some advice?

Accepted Answer

no spondylitis will not cause above symptoms, take steam inhalation

Question 2

I've had this stubborn dry cough for about 15 days now. It all started with a cold and cough, and I took some antibiotics and chest cold tablets for a few days back then. The cold cleared up, but this cough just won't go away. It's mostly at night before I sleep, but somehow it doesn't bother me when I'm actually asleep. The coughing makes it hard to breathe and sometimes I feel like my heart's racing. I even get these shivering vibrations in my upper body and hands. I already spoke to a general physician and got a bunch of medications like montelukast sodium, levocetirizine hydrochloride, methylprednisolone, and cefpodoxime proxetil potassium clavulanate. I'm on my second day of this prescription, and then I read online that some of these are for asthma. Really curious and a bit worried about what this could be, and if it's got to do with my lungs or heart. Any advice on what's going on and how to find out more?

Question 3

I'm a 24-year-old male and a few months ago I had some serious chest pain. I got an X-ray done back then and it showed something like blunting of the anterior CP angle on the lateral view. The pain went away after taking antibiotics. Fast forward to now, Ive been dealing with diarrhea for about a month and when I visited the doctor, he suggested a range of tests  something like re blood, RBS, LFT, Montoux test, colonoscopy, and a chest X-ray. Turns out, the chest X-ray looks the same as it did five months ago. Could you help me understand what's going on? Should I be worried that the X-ray hasnt changed?

Accepted Answer

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I've been noticing something strange when I have a big laugh. After a good couple of laughs, I start feeling uncomfortable with my breathing and hear this wheezing sound. It only happens when I'm really laughing hard. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
