Answered on 17th Oct '24

You may feel short of breath and have a sore throat that makes swallowing difficult. Your muscles might ache, and you could experience congestion in your sinuses. You may also feel dizzy as if your head is spinning. These signs may indicate a COVID-19 infection, as the virus can cause these symptoms. To aid recovery, make sure to rest and drink plenty of fluids. It’s important to isolate yourself from others to avoid spreading the illness. Be sure to contact your doctor about these symptoms.

These might be symptoms of asthma. Someone with asthma may find it difficult to breathe properly and they can also get chest pains. One needs to keep calm, sit upright, and use any prescribed inhalers if they have any. A person should also try to stay away from anything that might trigger an attack such as smoke or allergens. They can take warm drinks which will help them relax. If these signs continue or become worse then they need immediate medical attention.

Why is my cough somewhat black in colour...idid smoke in my past.

Male | 22

The tar and the other chemicals from smoking that are trapped in your lungs may cause you to have a black-colored cough. This means that the top layer of your lungs, which is trying to push out the harmful substances by coughing, is functioning properly. It's an indicator that the natural healing process of your body is working. To improve the condition of your lungs, it is critical to stop smoking and utilize water to clear out the tar that causes your cough.

I am a 20 year old male who has been having chest pains for the past week. They have come and go and spread through my chest and shoulders to my back. They are typically sharp or dull and can occur when I take a deep breath but feel better while I exercise. I had this before and had two x rays in the past and an x ray today to check if there was anything wrong with my lungs and evertime, my doctors assured me I am fine. I heard that x rays can miss lung cancer.

Male | 20

X-rays are generally effective in detecting lung conditions, but they may not always identify all potential issues, and early stages lung cancer. However it's important to note that chest pain can have various causes, and lung cancer is relatively rare, especially in young individuals. Consider discussing your concerns with your doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and recommend further tests or referrals to address your chest pains. They are in the best position to provide appropriate guidance based on your individual situation.

i recently got tested for covid and was positive and i haven’t had a fever for 48 hours but i took another test and it came back positive but have no symptoms just a sore throat from dry cough am I good to hang with friends?

Male | 19

It's good that you haven't had a fever for 48 hours, that's a positive sign. Nonetheless, the sore throat you may be able to catch from a dry cough may as well mean that you are infected and may still be contagious. Staying at home and keeping away from people is the best way to protect other people from infection. Continue with the fluids, take your rest, and check your symptoms regularly.

I was wondering I have been having shortness of breath and coughing up tiniest bit of blood and light yellow phlegm and it stinks

Female | 17

These symptoms, along with yellow phlegm with a foul smell, could indicate a lung infection or pneumonia. Both viruses and bacteria can cause these issues. It's crucial to see a doctor quickly for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They can prescribe the right medication, likely antibiotics, to combat the infection.

Been having a cough for 2 weeks finished my antibiotics I do vape

Female | 21

A respiratory specialist or pulmonologist might be the one to consult given a persistent cough for the past 14 days after you have completed the course of antibiotics. Vaping can aggravate the airways and increase respiratory problems; hence the doctors must do a thorough evaluation to put the conditions right.
