What are the 4 types of hypoxia?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been dealing with mediastinal lymph node TB and found out through EBUS FNAC and Genexpert. I'm currently on a 5-month treatment and have gained about 9 kg since starting it. Lately, I've noticed something odd with my cough. I seem to cough around 30 to 40 times a day, but it hits me in these dry cough attacks. It'll start with maybe 7 to 8 back-to-back coughs, then I clear my throat, and it stops. This happens like 3 to 4 times a day. There's no mucus, just throat clearing. But it's strange because it doesn't mess with my sleep or anything. Could this be an allergy or is it something I should be worried about?
allergic , take tab mucinac

I'm currently dealing with a tough breathing issue due to severe bronchitis and I've been trying out a few medications like the levosalbutamol inhaler, ibites inhaler, pulmoclear syrup, and also using a nasal spray for about two days. But ever since I started, I've noticed my heart rate is going through the roof, and on top of that, I'm feeling really restless and sleepy. Any idea how I can manage these side effects or should I be worried about them?
reduce the levosalbutamol inhaler dose
