Question 1

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. It wakes me up and I find myself needing to wait to catch my breath before I can settle down again. It's been going on for about 3 years now and sometimes it's accompanied by bloating, burping, and farting. I notice the shortness of breath can also happen with panic or loud noises around me. I've tried different medicines over time but they only seem to help temporarily. I'm really curious to know what could be causing this and what might actually help. What do you think I should do?

Accepted Answer

take tablet pantop and start steam inhalation

Question 2

I'm a 29-year-old guy dealing with allergic rhinitis, and now it's progressed to allergic asthma. I had a chest X-ray, which was normal, but my AEC count came back high. A few days ago, I had a really severe breathing problem, and my doctor put me on Airtec SF 250, ABphylline SR 200 mg, and Montair FX. These have helped a little, but I'm still feeling some breathing issues. I'm wondering if it'll take some time for the symptoms to fully settle down, or if there's anything else I could be taking to feel better. Could you give me some advice?

Question 3

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 76 and has been dealing with COPD for 7 years. Just recently, he had a secondary infection causing respiratory failure type 2. At the moment, he's on 0.5 O2 to keep his oxygen level at 94. His latest abc report shows pco2 at 40 and po2 at 66. Besides COPD, he only has thyroid issues. I'm concerned about his life expectancy after this episode. Can you give me an idea if he might have 6 months, 1 year, or even 5 years left?
