A lung transplant is a major surgery in which one person's damaged lungs are replaced with healthy ones from a donor. At the age of seventy-four, the body may not tolerate new lungs as well as when it was younger, which can cause some complications. The symptoms that tell you that you need a lung transplant are severe dyspnea and a permanent lack of energy. It's a difficult decision and requires careful thought as well as consultation with professionals.

Severe cough body chest pain

Female | 41

Coughing so hard together with chest pain can be due to one thing or another such as a bad cold flu, or pneumonia which could be even worse. To get through this better, make sure you get enough sleep, drink a lot of fluids, and consider using a humidifier. However, if your symptoms are the same, consult a pulmonologist.

I have a cold or flu or covid and my asthma is a lot worse than it has ever been. I am wheezing constantly and my reliever inhaler is not reducing the wheeze at all. I have a lot of mucus stuck in my chest and constantly coughing does not seem to be getting rid of the mucus and I think the mucus is causing me to wheeze constantly

Wheezing may be due to the mucus in your chest that is obstructing the air passage. The coughing may not be enough to dislodge the mucus. Adherence to your inhaler prescription is crucial. Sipping enough fluids and taking a humidifier can ease the mucus. Get medical help from a pulmonologist if the situation gets worse.

The tests show you may have a sickness. Your body is fighting it. The TB medicine is helping, but sicknesses can take time to go away. Keep taking your medicine like the doctor said. Tell the doctor if you feel new things. Stay hopeful! Follow what the doctor says.
