When on ventilator no sedation. How to lower breathing.
Female | 65
When patients are on the ventilators it is common to give them a sedation to keep them comforable and to give them a relief from the pain. In most instances,the sedation is not required and in a few cases,the sedation might even turn out to be harmful. Likewise, if a patient will be taking off the ventilator should be in co-operation with a pulmonologist or respiratory specialist who adjusts the setting of the ventilator or administers other treatments such as medication.

Recently I have been diagnosed with pleural thickening RT CP in x-ray
Male | 25
Pleural fibrosis results in thickening of the lungs lining and further development of breath problems and other symptoms. It may occur as a result of several different things like being exposed to asbestos or being infected by a certain bacterium or virus. I will recommend you see a pulmonodigist who can assess the exact condition and recommend a proper treatment plan.

Can a pill get stuck in your lung
Female | 22
Yes, a pill can get stuck in your lung. it can happen when something you’re swallowing goes down the wrong way. If you have trouble breathing after taking medicine, or you cough, wheeze, or have any other worrying symptoms, get medical help right away. Please talk to a pulmonologist to diagnose and treat any problems related to aspiration.

Having productive coughing for years and in black and white colour
Male | 39
Chronic coughing over extended periods and dark phlegm need medical attention to identify their causes which can be chronic bronchitis or lung cancer. A prompt visit to pulmonologist is strongly suggestable in case one experiences such severe symptoms. In a timely manner, treatment and help can be effective and bring about better results as well as enhanced qualities of life.
