Question 1

Hi, I have a pre-employment medical checkup on Wednesday and received the results today. My X-ray report says "pulmo clearance." I'm not sure what that means and what I should do next. Ive never had TB and havent even had a cough in the past year. Can you help me understand this and guide me on what to do?

Accepted Answer

Pulmo clearance in your X-ray result likely indicates that there are no significant issues or abnormalities in your lungs, and your lungs appear clear. Its reassuring that you haven't experienced symptoms like coughing, especially related to tuberculosis (TB). Given your history, its important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further clarification and ensure that all pre-employment health requirements are met.

Question 2

I was recently diagnosed with mild intermittent asthma, and my doctor prescribed Foracort 200 brown inhaler. I've been using it for 5 days, but I havent noticed any improvement yet. How long does it usually take to see results?

Accepted Answer

It can take a few days to a couple of weeks to notice significant improvement with inhalers like Foracort 200, as they help reduce inflammation in the airways. If you're not feeling better soon, it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 3

It's been over two months now, and I've been having trouble breathing whenever I laugh or talk. I often feel out of breath. Ive already had an X-ray and a cardiac check, and both came back normal. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a form of anxiety or stress-related breathing difficulty, especially since both your X-ray and cardiac check are normal. It could also be related to muscle tension in the chest or diaphragm. I recommend consulting a respiratory specialist or considering breathing exercises to help manage this.

The unusual sensation in your chest, described as a weird feeling when breathing, just below the throat and above the breasts, could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or respiratory issues like asthma or bronchitis
