Question 1

I'm having a bit of an issue thats been puzzling me and I was hoping you could help. When I try to take a deep breath in the afternoon or evening after I've eaten, I can't seem to complete it. It's like my stomach starts to swell when I inhale deeply, and I have to stop halfway through. This doesn't seem to happen when my stomach is empty or only partially filled. Do you think I'm breathing the wrong way, or is there something else going on that I should be concerned about?

Question 2

I've been having trouble taking a deep breath without yawning for the last couple of months. It feels like I'm just not getting enough air, almost like I'm hungry for it. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called air hunger, which can be caused by various underlying medical issues. One common cause is anxiety or stress, but it can also be due to respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or even heart conditions. To address your symptoms, it is important to first consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try using an inhaler like Albuterol (Ventolin) for possible asthma symptoms. The usual dosage for adults is 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management.

Question 5

I'm really worried because I've had this white coating on my tongue for about a week now. Do you have any advice on how I can treat it?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. You can use an antifungal medication like clotrimazole troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for 14 days. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly can also help in treating the white coating on your tongue.
