The flu is usually caused by a virus that affects your respiratory system. It's quite common during certain times of the year. Rest assured, most cases of flu resolve on their own with time and self-care. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consider over-the-counter medications to help with symptoms like fever and body aches. If your symptoms worsen or you develop difficulty breathing, it's best to see a physician for further evaluation.

Male | 20

It seems you may be experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection, which can cause cough, nasal congestion, and chest discomfort. To find relief, consider staying hydrated, using over-the-counter medications like cough suppressants or decongestants, and resting as much as possible. Warm teas or steam inhalation can also soothe your throat and help with congestion.

A pulmonologist can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend effective treatment tailored to your needs.

i am 39 years old having vertigo allergic bronchitis

Female | 39

You have been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis, which is causing coughing and dizziness. The dizziness you're feeling, known as vertigo, makes it seem like everything around you is spinning. Allergic bronchitis happens when your bronchial tubes react to allergens like dust and pollen. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help with the cough and dizziness. It's also helpful to avoid triggers like smoking or strong perfumes.

I was smoking. But I quit smoking till 2 days. Now I'm facing difficulties of breathing.

Male | 24

Experiencing shortness of breath after stopping smoking is a typical occurrence. Your body is getting used to the new environment. This may be because your lungs are now getting rid of the waste that can be left after smoking. It is a positive indicator that your body is on the way to recovery. Attempt to resume the procedure by breathing slowly and drinking water. If the problem doesn't go away, visit a pulmonologist.

I have had a low-grade fever on and off for about 6 days, cough with blood in mucus sometimes, although it may be blood from my nosebleed, and sore throat what could be the cause?

Male | 20

You might have a chest cold. That makes you cough and feel hot. The red stuff from your nose or throat could be from bleeding. But you should go to a pulmonologist to check. Be sure to drink a lot of water and juice. And rest as much as you can. Use a humidifier too. It puts water in the air so your throat does not get dry.

What happened to me? I get asthmatic attacks from dairy products regularly. But this time, even though I did not consume any dairy products lately. I have one of the worst one I ever had, got an asthma attack, my eyes are red and specific areas of the left part of my lips is puffed up for some reason. I've consumed a large quantity of dairy products before and the reaction wasn't nearly as severe.

Male | 13

You might be having a more serious allergic reaction which could cause your asthma symptoms to worsen; it may also cause swelling in areas such as your lips. Although now you haven't consumed dairy, allergies sometimes develop gradually and give rise to severe reactions. Allergies can often be so severe that they cause the eyes to become red. You should stay away from dairy and consult an allergist to establish your triggers and to receive the correct treatment.

I have Shortness of Breath for past 10 days. So, I have done my ECG (twice) and Echo which was normal (attached with this message). I attached my cholesterol reports with this message (115 LDL). At Night, Shortness of breath getting worse. I feel like severe tightness in my chest (not pain). Do I go for TMT and Chest X-ray? Yesterday, I consulted general physician, he told that my heart rate was high. Spo2 are Normal (100%)

Male | 18

Shortness of breath, especially worsening at night, can be concerning. Given your normal heart tests and cholesterol levels, it might indicate other factors such as anxiety, allergies, or even respiratory issues. It's good that your oxygen levels are stable. A thorough evaluation, including a chest X-ray and possibly a treadmill test (TMT), can provide more insights. I recommend you consult your pulmonologist for further assessment, as they can guide you through appropriate next steps and ensure your well-being.
