I've been feeling really out of breath no matter what I do, whether I'm just getting up, sitting down, moving around, or doing any kind of work. It's really concerning me. What could be causing this breathlessness, and should I be worried?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You may be experiencing symptoms of asthma. I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to help relieve your breathlessness. The usual dosage for Ventolin inhaler is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to use it as directed by your healthcare provider.

View allI'm dealing with a cough that's just not going away after celebrating Holi. It's been a while now and I'm getting worried. Is there something I should be doing differently or could there be an underlying issue that's causing this?
It sounds like the dust and colors from Holi may have irritated your airways, leading to a persistent cough. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying infection or allergies and to get appropriate treatment, as this kind of cough can sometimes last longer if not addressed properly.

I've been noticing a weird sound coming from my lungs every time I breathe. It's really thin, and sometimes I have a cough too. Whenever I work hard, I get short of breath. I haven't had any chest pain or noticed any blood, but the sound in my breath and the shortness of breath are concerning. What do you think might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing mild respiratory issues, such as wheezing or reactive airways, which can cause shortness of breath and a dry cough, especially with physical exertion. I recommend seeing a doctor to assess your lung function and rule out conditions like asthma or other respiratory concerns.

I'm a 26-year-old from Srinagar dealing with obstructive sleep apnea for the past five years. I was negligent at first and didn't take the condition seriously, but when things worsened, I started using a CPAP machine, which has helped. The issue is that I often feel embarrassed when traveling because I have to bring the machine with me. I'm wondering, is CPAP the only treatment option available? Can sleep apnea be reversed? I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide.
