Question 1

I've been having these concerning symptoms lately and I'm not sure what's going on. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up feeling dizzy, short of breath, and with some gas problems that caused a prickling pain in my chest. After that, I couldn't sleep and my body feels really weak, and the dizziness hasn't gone away. I looked it up on Google and came across GERD and acid reflux, which have similar symptoms. Could you help me figure out what this might be?

Question 3

I've been dealing with this annoying sternum pain for about three years now. Its not super intense; its more like a mild ache where the rib meets the sternum. It tends to ease up a bit when I do exercises like push-ups or apply ointments, but then it...

The symptoms you are describing could be related to costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the sternum. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen. The recommended dosage is usually 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. In addition, applying a topical NSAID cream such as Diclofenac gel to the painful area may also provide relief. You can apply a thin layer of the gel to the sternum area up to 4 times a day. It is important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and rule out any other potential causes of your symptoms. You may need to undergo tests such as an X-ray or MRI to further evaluate the condition of your sternum and ribs.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're managing ILD with Mucinac and Pirfenex, which help with mucus clearance and lung function. Breathing issues and persistent coughing are common in ILD, so it's important to follow up regularly with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust treatments as needed. If your symptoms worsen, let your healthcare provider know.

Accepted Answer

The chest X-ray report suggests pneumonia in both parahilar regions and the right lower lung, along with a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction, indicating inflammation of the lung linings and diaphragm, and recommends an apicolordotic view for further evaluation, which is a specialized X-ray view to better assess the lung apices and guide treatment for the pneumonia.
