My Mother had cold & cough 3 days prior while her SpO2 dropped to 88 levels Doctor gave her Budeseal 1 Mg twice a day & Duolin Ld once a day along with antibotic & fluvir capsule & doxomax tablet. Now her SpO2 is 91- 94 . She has productive cough with mucus which was also present before this cold & cough episode. She has Asthma from previous 25 years . Plz suggest reason for SpO2 reasons & guide for treatment. Also x ray is not showing any signs of Pneumonia.No fever .
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 .
I'm 37y old woman. since last dec I have had intermittent cough, and over the last few weeks have developed episodes of air hunger/unsatisfied deep breath, chest heaviness/tightness (especially over the sternum), and occasional breathlessness while talking or after exertion. I also have a persistent upper back ache between the shoulder blades that often precedes the air-hunger sensation.
Symptoms are triggered by dust, incense smoke, cold/chilly air and temperature changes. Warm humid air feels more comfortable. I occasionally notice wheeze on forced exhalation. Cough is mostly dry with very little sputum; once or twice I coughed up a tiny amount of thick light-yellow mucus.
I also have hoarseness, reduced singing ability and reflux/acidity symptoms sometimes. CBC and IgE are normal; Vitamin D is low. ENT suspected allergic bronchitis/CVA and started Foracort Rotahaler, with partial improvement in cough and some episodes of chest tightness... what could it be?
I can't breathe when see crowded bus ac trains,or flight . thought of Travel in flight just gives me anxiety attack
