Question 1

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing shortness of breath, especially after meals and at night. I've gone through all the heart-related tests and they've come back normal, so I'm unsure what's causing it. Can you help me figure out the root cause of my breathing problem and what I can do to solve it?

Accepted Answer

check GERD

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've had this dry cough for over three months now, and it's just not getting any better. I've tried antihistamines a few times, but they didn't seem to help at all. Every time I cough, it makes this loud noise that feels like it's coming from deep inside me. It's so disruptive, and it's really affecting my sleep. Do you have any idea what could be causing this or what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

u take steam inhalation

Question 3

I'm a bit confused about the differences between asthma and COPD. They both seem similar with the breathing issues, so how can I tell them apart? Also, someone mentioned that having COPD could complicate things if you need surgery. Should I be worried about any specific problems if someone with COPD has to undergo surgery?
