Chest & Breathing Problems
Weird smell from lungs and sputum
I have a weird burnt smell coming from my lungs while I exhale, and at that point the mucus also smells weird. It doesn't happen regularly but it does occur intermittently. And also I'm having breathing problem sometimes specially while working. Also I'm on medications like bilastine and montelukast and abphylline for respiratory problems cause the gp said its due to allergies. But the medications make my breathing problem somewhat manageable but not completely curable. Also inhaler won't help much. My mucus is whitish and sometimes solid mucus comes up. Pls help

Weird smell coming from lungs
I'm suffering from chronic urticaria since the last few months and on medications like bilastine and montelukast. But, since last one month I'm suffering from respiratory allergies as well. Visited my GP and he found some wheezing in my chest and said its due to urticaria only and prescribed me abphylline. I have noticed that the day I stop taking bilastine the very next day my breathing problem starts and also I get a very weird smoky smell coming from my lungs or nose or throat I'm not sure of, whenever I exhale and also my sputum smells quite weird, also sometimes I find solid like mucus coming from my lungs when I cough but mostly I get very white mucus. Why am I smelling this weird?

Shortness of breath
I get shortness of breath while talking in presentation or during a long discussion in the office meetings. I sweat as well and start feeling giddy as well for sometime once I stop the discussion and calm down I come to normal again.
I have done PFT , CHEST PA XRAY AND ECG as well as 2d echo cardio scan but luckily all the reports are normal. My physician said it may be allergic asthma due to weather changes, change in places while traveling and well as trigger of anxiety. I need proper advice.

Dry Cough, Throat Irritation, No Sputum
Ongoing for 2+ years. Recent tests show a slightly elevated Total Leukocyte Count (TLC) at 11, elevated Neutrophils at 7, slightly low Lymphocytes at 19, and a very high Serum IgE level of 365. Hemoglobin and platelet counts are within the normal range.
Is this cough (Shukhi Khasi) permanently treatable with medication, or is it caused by environmental factors?

Hello, My hubby gets blood in his phlegm every time h coughs and spits it from around 3 to 4 days. H had a high fever of 104°f, cold and cough a week back. H have a recurrent coughing from the past 6 months. Just wanted to know if this is really serious and treated immediately or can we wait for 1.5 months because h is out of india and will be returning in June. H has done chest x ray and it shows infection. I can't provide the x ray as they don't provide it to the patient. Two days back the blood was more but h didn't take the picture. Plz help.
