My 80-year-old father has recurrent episodes of rapid breathing and restlessness, mainly in the evening after lunch and afternoon sleep. He was hospitalized previously with severe breathlessness, diagnosed with acute LVF, and underwent coronary angiography. No angioplasty or repeat bypass was advised. He had bypass surgery 20 years ago. His oxygen saturation remained 98–99% during hospitalization. He also has chronic acidity, constipation, and a history of gastritis. Dytor 10 mg, previously prescribed SOS, was restarted recently as symptoms returned. Could these episodes be cardiac, pulmonary, or gastrointestinal in origin? Why does he remain relatively normal during the first half of the day? What further tests, treatment, or medication adjustments are recommended?
I'm diabetic (h1bac 7.4) and taking treatment. At time once in while I used to have breathing problem and got tested with treadmill and other tests and all come normal. I take Esiflow 250 inhaler 2-3 puffs and it becomes normal. From recent time I'm having this frequently specially when I wake up in the morning and/or in the evening time. Esiflow 250 still works but now it's frequent almost once in two days. Day time no issues only majority morning time and in the evening. Please suggest what should I do. Thanks
Respected Doctors,
Can we use duolin along with Foracort 400 for rescue ie SOS. Are there any side effects.Regards
For the last 1 month, I have recurrent throat dryness and irritation with an urge to cough or clear my throat. Coughing gives temporary relief, but the irritation returns. During daytime it happens around 10–12 times, but at night after lying down it becomes much worse, sometimes every 5–10 minutes, making it difficult to sleep.
I have allergic rhinitis and regularly stay in an AC room (26°C) with a fan. My AC has not been serviced for a long time. I have also used Foracort 200 inhaler.
Could this be due to post-nasal drip/allergy, sinusitis, silent acid reflux/LPR, asthma, or dust/mold from the AC?
What tests may be needed to identify the root cause, and what treatment/medicine would be appropriate?
Heterogeneous infiltrative opacities noted in bialteral lungs shows as per Xray report. Coughing from 2 months but no fever .
