Hi, I’m a 26 years old that have a productive cough that won’t go away.
When it first started the doctor prescribed me antihistamines, after a month of those, I felt worse and another doctor prescribed decongestants, antibiotics and steroids. Those helped for a little, but once I finished the cure, the cough came back and another doctor gave me antihistamines and nasal spray which didn’t help at all,
I don’t know what to do anymore.
In attachment there is a Xray I did when it first started.
In October of 2015, I developed pneumonia. After that, I developed a intermittent wheeze. Since then, I have had pneumonia two more times. I have a history of smoking, I am a 32 year old male, and I have no pain or discomfort. I only have wheezing (more of a rattling) that only occurs a few times a week, no shortness of breath, no pain or tightness in the chest, and white to yellow mucous that is produced when I do cough, which usually occurs only when I wheeze. Albuterol inhalers seem to work, but the doctors don’t seem tow know what is wrong. I have had pneumonia 3 times. I take Lunesta, Prazosin, Celexa, and Welbutrin.
Hi i am a 18 yr old female, I have anemia! I was diagnosed with pneumonia on the 2/1/17 after having a cough and other symptoms for over 9weeks, the pneumonia is in my left lung, when I went to the hospital I had pain in my back and chest, the pain has now moved to my shoulder and ribs on left side, is this normal? The pain it really sharp and painful I have also started coughing again this had stopped for about five days and now it’s returned, is that normal? I finish my medication on Monday!
I suffer from some symptoms which can be summarized as the following:
-Dizziness and continuous headache.
-Ear fullness and tinnitus.
-Blurring of vision.
-Numbness sensation in the back.
-Pricking sensation in both legs.
-Amnesia, dyspnoea and numbness involving the areas of chest
and abdomen.
-Disequilibrium and drowsiness.
-Pain, crackling in the jaw with closed-bite malocclusion.
-Sinusitis.
-Muscular cramps are present sometimes.
An incident:
I was smoking a cigarette and suddenly heard chest wheezes; then
dyspnoea took place, accompanied with muscle cramps in both arms
and feet, as if electrically shocked.
I suffered to reach the definite diagnosis which explains the
above mentioned symptoms.
The local doctors diagnosed my case as:
-Sinusitis,
-Jaw dislocation,
-Anxiety and stress; (and this is untrue because I don’t experience any
stresses or dysphoria, and I feel psychological stability).
I’m completely ready to do any clinical, radiological or laboratory
investigations to reach the accurate diagnosis for my case.
I am 61 year old male having congenital diaphragmatic eventration. I am an active cyclist. Is it is advisable for me to go for Himalayan trekking at altitude about 14000 ft. I am concerned about high altitude sickness and lack of oxygen at higher altitudes. pl advice
Im a 22 year old female, when I was very young ( 5 years old) ,had undergone a lobectomy for the left lung. Since then, I have fluctuating temperature in my body. Basically, my left hand side is always cold & I do not sweat over on the same side but, my right hand side is what I feel as a normal temperature which is warm enough to feel human.
Also, I have a odd bump on my back which looks like a hunch back.
Can you please explain me the causes for all this? Is my doubt of all this is because of the surgery right???
I am coming up to 18 years of age., I am asthmatic and have been diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression. The only medication I have to take are my inhalers – Seretide Accuhaler and the salbutamol Easyhaler.
So I have been ill for about a week now with what my mum thinks might be the flu but I had my flu vaccination 6 weeks ago so I don’t think it’s that and this is the fifth time in the last 2 months that I have been ill.
I have trouble breathing and I am coughing an awful lot, also my arm becomes uncomfortably numb and it’s even worse when I go into a coughing fit. I’m rather concerned because it’s not the first time it has happened and each time the pain gets worse.
What could be the problem?

Hello! I am a veteran who has beta thalassemia minor, which lowers my body’s ability to carry oxygen efficiently. I have a consistently low hemoglobin count and I also recently developed asthma as a result of being exposed to burn pits while on deployment to Afghanistan. Due to the combination of these conditions, I suffer from bouts of fatigue every few weeks and shortness of breath when attempting exercise or manual labor. I would like to have a medical professional confirm that these two things, while unrelated, are possibly amounting to the more severe results of my fatigability. I am seeing a hematologist for my thalassemia, but she has told me that she won’t connect the two, as she is not a pulmonary specialist. I would like to get in touch with someone who feels comfortable with both aspects of my medical situation and would possibly give me documentation that outlines how these two things could interact in my case. Thank you so much for your help!
I am a 23 year old female, taking zolaire treatment for allergies, and having eating disorder (binge eating). Yesterday, felt weak all of a sudden, almost fainted, with pain and pressure in left arm. High BP 150/100, heart rate 120. went to hospital had 2 electrocardiograms, blood tests (including heart and anemia) all normal. Checked for Pulmonary embolism – all OK. Blood pressure is now more or less back to normal. But heart rate still at 110, I have terrible headache and still feel dizzy and faint. Doctors don’t know the cause. What can it be? and what tests should I do next?

Hi,
I have chronic shortness of breath. I usually feel a tightness in the chest area at the same time, and I have to stop mid sentence to take a deep breath sometimes after every word or every second word. But then sometimes when I really try hard to relax it is better. I have had the condition for about four years and I can remember a few occasions when it was not there, so that I could have a normal conversation.
I have a history of anemia and iron deficiency, high cholesterol ( but not high enough to be needing medication ), and narrow veins ( at least in the arms, the nurses always take a few minutes to decide which arm to take the blood from ).
I’m 43 years old, female and of normal weight.
My mom is 58 years old, she has been coughing several times each day for the past 9 months, sometimes she spits clear mucous after coughing ano in the last two days she is following the mucous with a vomit (while she’s vomiting she feel like that there are spike or needles being injected in all of her chest) and when she coughs hard she kind of having a little bit of a pee. One doctor checked her nose and said that she has an allergy, he prescribed her a nasal spray (she used it, but it didn’t change anything).
She also has an a skin allergy that doctors don’t know what causes it (they made an allergy test at hospital and it showed that she has no skin allergy at all), a point to mention, she gets that allergy often by sudden and sometimes when she gets very nervous or scared or angry.
She says that the cough is exhausting her so much.
Sometimes her heart beats hard suddenly for a while
Now the question is: what is the reason of the cough and how could she cure
Note: when she was 28 she had an allergy from chokes she used to cough hard back then when she used the board chokes. She cured from it by the help of the doctor (she doesn’t remember how) (she is an a retired teacher since 2 years ago) ..
She takes both ramipril 5mg and amlodipine for high blood pressure
She takes Aerius for skin allregy (and it works)
She takes simvaxon 10mg for cholesterol
I am (…)[Female], currently living in Kigali, Rwanda and I am 15 years old. I have had a medical history of Asthma and Thyroid which I am currently living with. Due to some personal issues I made my conditions get worst since February 2016. I take L Thyroxine of 75 mg and Ventoline 100 mcg[Salbutamol]. Since around the beginning of this month I have started to feel dizzy whenever I get up after sitting, and my inhaler intake has increased. I have tried telling my parents about it and they tried helping with Home-Remedies, but I feel that it made my body warm up more and cause more Anxiety and tiredness. I am not sure if this e-mail might work, but could you please see if I really need a doctor? I feel the signs of grief too, but that might be minor, I just request you to tell me some possible ways to look through this.
I really hope for a reply soon, will be really helpful.
