I am completely unable to sit up, and I cannot even sit in a slightly inclined position. I am taking Pulmoclear tablets, but I am unable to swallow them because I am lying completely flat. So I crush the tablet and mix it with water before drinking it. Is it okay to take it that way?
37F seeking a second pulmonology opinion. For 5-6 months I’ve had intermittent dry cough, air hunger, chest tightness/heaviness, mild breathlessness while talking, and upper back ache. Triggers include dust, incense smoke, and cold air; warm humid air helps. Occasional wheeze on forced exhalation. Slight nagging pain at back between the shoulder blades is also there. I also have hoarseness, voice fatigue, reduced singing ability, and a history of reflux. Pulmonologist suspects CVA...but is it possible to have asthma when all reports are normal? Including Ige? Please suggest as though I'm on treatment, I'm clueless on what's wrong with me ... Feno result is 17. Attaching pft report .
For the last 20 days I have had a breathing/inhaling discomfort where I feel unable to take a fully satisfying deep breath. It is worse in hot and humid weather and improves in AC. Symptoms are usually less in the morning and at night. This started after a few panic/anxiety episodes about a month ago, for which my doctor prescribed Nexito 10 and Zapiz 0.5. Even when I don't feel anxious, the breathing issue can still occur, although it makes me anxious when it happens. ECG was normal except sinus tachycardia. CBC, sodium, potassium and TSH were normal, CRP was 21 and ESR was 12. I also have mildly elevated liver enzymes. Two doctors examined my lungs and said they sound clear. Could this be anxiety-related or does it suggest a lung problem?
I'm attaching ct scan report, my mother admitted in icu because of breathing issue, 88-96 oxygen, sometimes heart rate goes up and down. In night when she sleep, her oxygen drops, they start oxygen. Why this happen?
Could you please explain it this Calcific dot like seen in x ray, is it safe? Or it can be due to which reason kindly help and advice.
