Is persistent wheezing with mucus a severe asthma symptom?

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.

Why can't I eat with breathing problems?

You might have asthma, a medical problem where breathing is difficult and eating becomes hard. Typical symptoms of the illness are an inability to breathe normally and the chest feeling tight. Asthma, a chronic respiratory illness, can be aggravated by allergies to house dust or animal hair. Medication issued by the doctor, avoiding triggers, and taking smaller meals can be the ways to cope with this. It is essential to take advice from a pulmonologist for the appropriate treatment.

What are my allergy triggers in pollution season?

In October, if there are allergies that last for a period of 1 to 2 months, they may be caused by the pollen or the mold. Sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes are the typical signs of this. Go see an allergist to find the cure. They may also prescribe nasal sprays or antihistamines as treatments. It is best to avoid triggers by keeping the windows closed.

Why Can't My Mother Sleep Due to Cough?

Coughing for a long time can still appear despite the normal test results because of other causes such as postnasal drip or acid reflux. These problems can lead to the throat getting more irritated and the cough lasting longer. To support her in getting more sleep, you may want to raise her head while she is sleeping and make the room humid. Besides that, avoiding bad triggers such as smoke or strong odors can be useful. If the situation persists, a visit to either a pulmonologist or allergist might be a good thing.

Can I Start Track and Field Without Asthma Inhaler?

Sports if you are asthmatic and lack of inhaler can turn out to be a dangerous affair. Asthma is a disease that can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, and compactness of the chest among other things. Physical activities can provoke an asthma attack. In your situation, it would be dangerous to do track and field without an inhaler. Warn your parents or school nurse about your asthma and request them to help you get an inhaler before beginning track and field.

Which anti-inflammatory won't interact with Hyperkalemia?

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.

Why do I have severe pain when breathing and eating?

If you're feeling chest pain that worsens when you eat, it might be related to your stomach or digestion, possibly heartburn. Eating smaller meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods can help. Stay hydrated and avoid lying down right after eating. If the pain continues, it's best to see a pulmonologist for a check-up.
