Is persistent wheezing with mucus a severe asthma symptom?

I have a cold or flu or covid and my asthma is a lot worse than it has ever been. I am wheezing constantly and my reliever inhaler is not reducing the wheeze at all. I have a lot of mucus stuck in my chest and constantly coughing does not seem to be getting rid of the mucus and I think the mucus is causing me to wheeze constantly

Wheezing may be due to the mucus in your chest that is obstructing the air passage. The coughing may not be enough to dislodge the mucus. Adherence to your inhaler prescription is crucial. Sipping enough fluids and taking a humidifier can ease the mucus. Get medical help from a pulmonologist if the situation gets worse.

I’m on a medication that causes hyperkalemia if I take NSAIDs with it. I have very high inflammation, Doctors have prescribed Naproxen, Ibuprofen, Toradol and Meloxicam. They all made me ill for days. Is there any medication for inflammation that won’t interact with Hyperkalemia?

Female | 39

You are having’ medications that are causing issues with your potassium levels. You need to avoid NSAIDs such as Naproxen, Ibuprofen, Toradol, and Meloxicam because they can aggravate your high potassium levels. You may discuss with your doctor the possibility of using Acetaminophen or Celecoxib medications, as they usually do not affect potassium levels. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication routine.

Cough..very hard.........

Male | 30

Your cough sounds very inte­nse. A severe­ cough can signify illnesses like che­st infections, throat infections, allergie­s, or asthma. Stay hydrated, use a humidifier, and take­ cough medicine if require­d. If it persists, see a pulmonologist. Seve­re coughing fits are difficult. Coughs sometime­s indicate underlying conditions. Persiste­nt coughing warrants medical attention. Reme­dies like fluids and humidifiers provide­ temporary relief.

I have been waking up a lot while sleeping the past few days. I work nights so I sleep during the day and I laid down this morning to sleep and then everytime I was about to fall asleep I felt like I wasn’t breathing

Male | 24

You could have sle­ep apnea, where­ breathing stops briefly during slumber. Classic signs: waking ofte­n at night, feeling breathle­ss before slee­p. It's vital to consult a physician, who'll propose remedie­s. Side sleeping or spe­cial masks frequently ease­ the issue.

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.

Female | 49

You have recently caught a cold. Infections can lead to tiredness, headaches, and even fever as a result of a virus, such as the one that causes colds. To recover from your illness, you should mainly rest, drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps use some over-the-counter medications to ease your symptoms.

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.

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.

Anxiety late night asthama attack

Female | 14

Late-night asthma attacks triggered by anxiety are not uncommon. When anxiety strikes, your body can react in unusual ways, leading to respiratory issues. Asthma symptoms can worsen, making it difficult to breathe. You might experience wheezing, persistent coughing, and a tight feeling in your chest. To manage anxiety, try calming techniques like deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation.
