Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having trouble breathing and chest pain for a few weeks now. We saw a cardiologist, and he recommended a chest X-ray and an ECO. His diagnosis was pneumonia affecting both lungs, and he prescribed some injections for a week. I'm really concernedhow serious is this? Is pneumonia something that can be cured easily?

Accepted Answer

it is curable

Question 2

I'm having trouble breathing for the past two months. It feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen to my head or legs, and my throat feels heavy with some chest discomfort. I've also had a cold for the same duration, but it's more of a stuffed nose than a runny nose. Antibiotics didnt help much. My doctor did an ECG and X-ray, and everything came out fine. She mentioned it might be an allergy and prescribed Allegra and some acid reflux meds for ten days. I felt better but not fully recovered. I stopped the medication on May 18th and can still do an hour of exercise daily, but the cold persists. There's a post-nasal drip, and the mucus feels stuck in my throat. I'm also finding my breaths shallow, needing to take deep breaths occasionally. What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

take mucinac for 5 days

Question 3

I was just walking normally when all of a sudden, I felt choked and couldn't breathe for a minute. It was really scary. What could have caused that, and should I be worried or see someone about it?

Accepted Answer

did something struck in throat, if in that case refer to causality immediately

I'm a bit concerned because my SpO2 level is 98, which seems normal, but I'm still feeling this suffocation when I breathe. I find myself needing to take deep breaths through my mouth. What could be causing this? Any thoughts or suggestions?

there might be Nasal congestion, take steam inhalation
