I'm really concerned about this thing that's been happening to me at night. When I'm just about to fall asleep or sometimes even in the middle of the night, I'll wake up gasping for air. It's really frightening. I'm taking Olzole right now for my heartburn and gas, and I'm trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing might be sleep apnea or is it just because of my GERD acting up. It used to happen before but not as often as it does now. Could you help me understand what's going on?

View allI have a concern regarding the febrex plus tablet. I've noticed that every time I take it, I end up with a lot of coughing, but it doesn't seem to bring up any mucus. I'm a bit puzzled about why this is happening. Could you give me some insights or guidance on this situation?
Febrex Plus contains a combination of ingredients that can help relieve cold and flu symptoms, but one of its components, like the decongestant or antihistamine, may sometimes cause dryness in the airways. This can lead to a dry cough, as the body attempts to clear irritants without producing mucus. If this continues, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust the medication.

I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea but I'm not keen on using a CPAP machine or surgery. Are there other ways to treat it naturally or with lifestyle changes? What options have worked for others?
Yes, besides CPAP and surgery, various lifestyle changes and alternative therapies can help manage sleep apnea. Many people find success with losing weight, practicing positional therapy (sleeping on their side), and using oral appliances.

I'm feeling pretty anxious about something and could use some advice. I've had a couple of CT scans and an x-ray on my chest over the past few months because of some severe pain I started having after recovering from COVID. My pulmonologist recommended them, but I've heard that all that radiation can cause health problems down the line. Should I be worried about the amount of radiation I've been exposed to, or are these scans generally safe?
yes regular x-rays can effect ur health in later life , minor risk
