Am I experiencing severe COPD symptoms like gas and insomnia?

Patient's Query

He is a copd patient. He is facing increased breathing troubles since the past few days. Now he is unable to lie down and breathe and sleep. He is in a straight sitting posture and breathing. Suffering from excessive gas as well.

Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal

COPD can sometimes act up and cause these kinds of issues. When your airways are inflamed or narrowed, it can make it hard to breathe properly. That's probably why you're feeling so breathless, especially when lying down. The excessive gas could also be contributing to your discomfort. It's essential we address this promptly. I recommend reaching out to your pulmonologist as soon as possible. They may need to adjust your medications or provide additional support to help you breathe easier and feel more comfortable.

I am 28 years old i am Moderate MR patient i am facing difficulty in breathing nowadays

Female | 28

With Moderate MR, the heart may very well be malfunctioning which is why your body has a difficult time getting the required oxygen. This might make you want to breathe faster, and you end up getting dizzy. You need to alert your doctor of the problem now so that your doctor can check you out and give you more effective medicine if it is necessary.

I have asthma but no inhaler and I want to start track and field in my school. What should I do?

Female | 14

Sports if you are asthmatic and lack of inhaler can turn out to be a dangerous affair. Asthma is a disease that can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, and compactness of the chest among other things. Physical activities can provoke an asthma attack. In your situation, it would be dangerous to do track and field without an inhaler. Warn your parents or school nurse about your asthma and request them to help you get an inhaler before beginning track and field.

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.

my name is nikhil my age is 20 I have fever and cough I am having fever day and night since last 3 days. I have squinted in the rain many times

Male | 20

Fever and cough are typically part of the body's natural defense against infection. When you get wet in the rain, your body gets cold, which makes it a lot easier to catch a cold. Keep it warm, drink a lot of fluids, get some rest, and you can also take some over-the-counter fever medicine if you like. If your symptoms become more severe or worsen, visit a doctor.

TB ki dawa 1 sal se chal rahi hai lekin bar bar infection ho ja raha hai aur cough ata sene me dard hota hai sans lene me dikat ho rahi hai

Female | 25

When you have repeated contamination and signs such as coughing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, you must contact your doctor as soon as possible. These TB strains could be your TB drug-resistance treatment. The need for urgent treatment of these symptoms is the main reason for stopping the infection's growth.

My granddaughter had a slight fever and a cough sense yesterday. The fever is gone but the cough is still there. I gave her some cough drops which didn’t work. Her cough became more consistent. Her mother gave her Tussin, a cheaper version of Robitussin. Now she’s vomiting. Is this a sign of Whooping Cough? She’s 7 years old

Female | 7

This typically occurs when a person coughs so much, it makes them sick to their stomach. In children, particularly in toddlers, this can be alarming. It is an infectious disease characterized by coughs that produce a “whooping” sound. It is caused by bacteria and affects the respiratory system. If left untreated or not properly managed, it can cause serious complications, especially in young kids.
