I have been seeing blood in my phlegm since last three days, all of it in the morning. I have been coughing a lot since more than a week and I have a history of smoking. The blood in Phlegm is only in the morning. My parents don't know about the smoking thing so I can't tell them yet. I had also been in Delhi for 10 days. Before that never had it happened. What to do in this situation I am very scared. I'm blowing my nose and all no blood in that. Just in the morning
Dear Doctor, My daughter is having a severe cough with chest irritation. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and inhalers. Post antibiotics after a week again she s experiencing cough chest irritation and sore throat tiredness. Attached is the x ray took last week. Kindly check the x ray and tell me if the lungs are healthy and good.
I went for a swim in a public pool one day. A week later, I got a cough. The worst cough of my life. I would cough 24×7 and very intensely. It transmitted to everyone in my family. I had to drink 10 to 15 bottles of cough syrup. After coughing for a month, I coughed up trace amounts of blood one day. Went to a pulmonologist and he did a CT scan. Doctor said it wasn't TB or Pneumonia but upper respiratory tract infection and prescribed medicine which were antibiotics, blood clotting agents etc, it took me another 1.5 months to get rid of the cough. All in all cough stayed for like 2 months. But it's been 5 months or so since the cough started and I still feel chest pain. And not just chest pain, it feels as if the pain is coming from inside the lungs. I don't have any other symptoms. Sometimes when I try to breathe deep it hurts, sometimes my chest hurts upon pressing. And now there is no cough or blood. What's wrong? Costochondritis or Pleurisy? Do I get chest x-ray or Sputum test?
Hi I do have high BP and take medicines. It's under control with medicines. I do measure the BP once in a few weeks at home just to check. Whenever I check my BP, it also shows my pulse rate and it's always higher. Around 100-120. Then I will sit down for a while and keep checking it for a few minutes. It will show up 100-110. Never goes down below 100. I asked my doctor about this during my visits and he said it's ok. During my visits, they do check vitals and pulse rate will be around 90-100. They were never concerned about it at all. I am 40 years old and obese. Does this pulse rate normal or need to be checked out? Do I need to sit down for sometime before checking the pulse rate? I just simply stand and check it sometimes with pulse meter.
Respected Sir/Madam, Four months before I was experiencing mild chest discomfort that's why I went for 2D Echo . Echo values were: PAAT-108 m/s, TAPSE-2.2cm/s, PVmax-97cm/s, No ASD/VSD/PDA/Clot, No pericardial effusion, EF- 60%, No RWMA . But in the impression Mild TR and Mild PAH were mentioned. I got anxious seeing mild PAH so went for two follow up Echoes recently which Showed No TR/PR. What all these imply? What should I do now? Do I have PAH or not? Regards
