A little pain on right side chest after smoking. the pain goes away only If i stop smoking for atleast 10 days. the pain starts as soon as I start smoking again.

If you think your chest pain is due to smoking, then you must stop smoking to reduce the risk further. Get a thorough evaluation done by a cardiologist or pulmonologist for further treatment.

Why reoccurring breathing difficulties and cough after ASOT test?

Experiencing ongoing breathing difficulties and a persistent cough can be challenging and uncomfortable. These symptoms may arise from various causes, including allergies, infections, or underlying respiratory conditions. The reactive ASOT test indicates possible streptococcal infection, which may contribute to your symptoms. It's crucial to have a thorough evaluation by a pulmonologist to explore treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Until then, try to manage your environment by avoiding irritants and staying hydrated.

Why Do I Have Chronic Cough and Yellow Eyes?

It sounds like you’re experiencing significant discomfort with the persistent cough, chest pain, sore throat, and yellowish tint in your eyes. These symptoms may suggest an infection or inflammation, possibly involving your respiratory system. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier might help ease your throat. Over-the-counter pain relievers can reduce discomfort. However, given the severity of your situation and the presence of yellowish eyes, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly. A pulmonologist can provide a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment plan to support your recovery.

Can I Take Creatine and Whey Protein with TB Medication?

You are right in saying that you have certain concerns regarding the application of creatine and whey protein while undergoing tuberculosis treatment. Normally, creatine and whey protein supplements are safe when taken safely, but in your scenario, you should be more cautious. TB treatment would require specific medicines to help do their job. The consumption of creatine and whey protein may interfere with the absorption of these drugs, or in other words, decrease the strength of drugs. It is also crucial that you do not deviate from the exact set of actions the medic tells you to because, in your place, your health is the top priority. Once the chemo treatment is done, you might consider the idea of taking these supplements as directed by your pulmonologist

Why does my chest hurt after inhaling helium?

It’s understandable to be concerned about discomfort in your chest after inhaling helium from a balloon. This sensation could be due to irritation of the airways or muscles from the act itself. While mild symptoms might resolve on their own, it’s essential to monitor for any worsening pain, shortness of breath, or other unusual signs. Staying calm and resting can help. If discomfort persists or if you experience any alarming symptoms, please consider consulting a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation.

Do I Have Cough, Fever, Throat Pain & Blocked Nose?

It sounds like you’re experiencing some common symptoms that may be related to a viral infection, such as a cold or flu. Coughing, elevated temperature, throat discomfort, and nasal congestion often indicate this. Staying hydrated, resting, and using over-the-counter medications can help alleviate discomfort. Warm salt water gargles may soothe your throat, while steam inhalation can relieve congestion. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s wise to visit a physician for further evaluation.

Why is my PCV level 43 causing symptoms?

Your packed cell volume (PCV) of 43% is within the normal range for most adults. Shortness of breath and difficulty swallowing saliva can be caused by various conditions unrelated to your PCV level. It’s important to consult a pulmonologist for your breathing issues and a gastroenterologist for your swallowing difficulties to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Why do I have high-low temperature with cough?

It sounds like you’re experiencing ongoing symptoms of fever and cough, which can be bothersome. Fluctuating temperatures often indicate your body is fighting an infection, possibly viral, such as influenza. It’s essential to stay hydrated, rest well, and consider over-the-counter medications to manage your symptoms. If your fever persists or worsens, or if you develop new symptoms, I highly recommend consulting a pulmonologist.

Why Am I Experiencing White Cough and Chest Tightness?

It sounds like you are experiencing a combination of respiratory symptoms, likely related to an allergic reaction or sensitivity to dust or certain foods, which may be exacerbating your cough and chest tightness. The white mucus suggests your airways may be reacting to irritants. To alleviate symptoms, try to avoid spicy foods, ensure good ventilation while cooking, and consider using an air purifier. Staying hydrated and using saline nasal sprays can also help. However, given your persistent issues, I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
