Why Am I So Tired, Sleepy, and Coughing?

Patient's Query

Feeling tired and sleepy lode for more than 10 days additionally heavy cough is there

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Feeling tired and sleepy for over 10 days and dealing with a heavy cough could be due to a few things. It's possible you have a viral infection like a cold or the flu, which can make you feel exhausted and cause a persistent cough. Sometimes, allergies or even something like bronchitis could be the culprit. To help you feel better, make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consider using over-the-counter remedies for your cough. However, it's essential to consult with a physician to rule out any serious issues and get the right treatment.

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.

Wet coughing with chest tighness

Male | 32

It would be wise to consult a pulmonologist if you are experiencing symptoms of moist coughs associated with chest tightness. One explanation could be that it is bronchitis or a respiratory infection.

Since couple of days, I ’m suffering with cold cough and fever .. to treat I referred previous prescription of my family doctor and took following medicines - Zyrocold - 1-0-1 Zyzal - 1-0-1 Solvin - 1-0-1 Calpol - as & when required Mucinac - 1-1-1 but still I’m not recovering My sugar and thyroid is in limits with regular medicines

Taking medicine­s didn't help you feel be­tter, that's concerning. Colds, coughs and feve­rs are often viral, requiring tailore­d treatment. Stay hydrated, we­ll-rested and nourished. Howe­ver, revisit your doctor for re-e­valuation. Tests may reveal the­ issue, allowing adjusted treatme­nt. Struggling through illness alone risks complications.

I have been diagnosed with bronchitis and on a week course of antibiotics but my chronic cough has not improved and I have been vomiting and shortness of breath when walking and feeling very tired and body aches and headaches

Female | 26

Something se­ems wrong—your symptoms like vomiting, breathing trouble­, exhaustion, aches, and headache­s suggest the bronchitis worsene­d. The infection possibly spread. That's se­rious, you really should see a doctor urge­ntly. You might require differe­nt treatment, maybe stronge­r antibiotics or other medicines. De­laying medical attention would be unwise­.

My daughter has had a pretty bad cough since Wednesday. We know it’s bronchitis, but we need some over-the-counter medicine for her to take. Do you have any recommendations?

Female | 13

if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. My doctor prescribed me the inhaler Salbutamol and the tablet medicine allergy lesetrin lukastin ansimar. How long after using the inhaler can I drink these tablets? Is it harmful to use these medicines with an interval of 1 hour. Or how long between medicines? must be time.?

Kişi | 30

Asthma or allergies can be a cause of this. To open the airways quickly, Salbutamol inhalers play an important role. On the other hand, Leukotriene Modifiers such as Montelukast take longer working time as they reduce inflammation gradually over the airway passages. No problem if combined use is considered safe by the doctor. Both drugs follow medical prescriptions strictly.
