I've been experiencing some light crackling sounds in my right lung base, but only when I lie down stretched out. Even when I hold my breath and push in the central lung area, the crackles tend to come and go. If I shift my position even slightly, they disappear. There's no chest pain, and these crackles are just occasional. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something serious?

The light crackles youre experiencing may be related to mild lung congestion or postural changes affecting air flow, which can be common and not usually serious, especially if theres no chest pain or difficulty breathing. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

View allI've been having shortness of breath for the past two months and it started really suddenly. At first, I was also dealing with back pain and lung pain along with a feeling of tightness. Now it's mostly just the shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my left lung. My lung X-ray came back normal and the EEG report was fine too. The doctor didn't prescribe any medicine, but I'm still struggling with shortness of breath. What could be going on, and should I be concerned about this?

I've been dealing with this annoying issue for quite a while now. Whenever I go to bed and try to fall asleep, my throat starts itching and I begin coughing. It's definitely a dry cough. What's weird is that as soon as I stop trying to sleep, the coughing just goes away. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
Expectations After Medication Insertion* 1. *Bleeding*: You can expect bleeding to start within 2-7 days after the medication insertion. However, this timeframe may vary. 2. *Expulsion of Retained Products*: The retained products (measuring 9cc) may be expelled during the first menstrual cycle, but it's not guaranteed. *Factors Influencing Expulsion* 1. *Size of Retained Products*: The size of the retained products (9cc) is relatively small, which increases the likelihood of natural expulsion. 2. *Effectiveness of Medication*: The medication inserted by your doctor is designed to help expel the retained products. Its effectiveness may influence the timing and success of expulsion. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Track Your Symptoms*: Keep a record of your bleeding, cramping, and any other symptoms. 2. *Follow-up Appointment*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the progress and determine if further intervention is needed.

I'm 55 and I've been having more and more of a cough lately, especially when I'm on the phone or talking to others. I've tried using cough syrup with dextromethorphan hydrobromide and gargling with salt water, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What should I do next?
