500943 tn?1210113003 I had x-rays taken due to spitting or coughing up blood and wheezing and having a hard time breathing. I had 6 nodules in my lungs, all under 1 inch. I was diagnosed with GERD, and after the antibiotic this time, I continued with Nexium and morning and nite inhaled Advair. It was like magic with the coughing. I am so happy, This was my birthday present and the best one! Now after having had xrays/ct about every 4 mo. I have two of the small nodules grown to 1inch or more so very quickly!
Avatar f tn When I went to see him, I told him about my trouble breathing, constant coughing, and fatigue, which have all just come up within the last six months or so. He said this had nothing to do with the nodules and was probably allergies. He prescribed an allergy medicine and nasal medicine. I told him I've had seasonal allergies since childhood (in the spring, when pollen levels go up), but he still thinks it's allergy related. I'm trying the meds, with no results.

Avatar m tn I have been coughing for over a year and have some weight lost. My family doctor says the coughing has nothing to do with the nodules and groundglass opacities. HELP HELP HELP. I can't stop crying My family doctor did bothered to call me to help explain this report.
Avatar n tn It sounds like you may be suffering from LPR - its a type of reflux that affects the upper respiratory system - causing mucous to come up, coughing fits, one sided ear and sinus pain, etc. Please look it up, much of what you are talking about sounds like that (as I am guessing you have ruled out things like asthma, etc.?). The usual treatment is a PPI like Nexium twice a day and allergy type medications.
Avatar n tn If you are coughing up yellow phlegm you have developed a drug resistant infection and need to go back to your physician immediately.
Avatar n tn Although I am somewhat concerned - I underwent the procedure just about 10 days ago and the larger lump (fluid filled) is still just as visible externally as it ever was (if not more so) and now I have some discomfort (coughing, sneezing, tipping back my head etc) where I NEVER had any before....it was actually found during a routine exam at the doctor - I never had any symptoms and my bloodwork showed normal thyroid levels.
1393851 tn?1280185051 Recently, I went for another ultrasound and was told that I have a few nodules on the right side of my gland but that was only because I was taking "too high a dose of eltroxin." I really don't know what to do. For 13 years I have been on a whirlwind of medications, fluctuating weight, tiredness, insomnia etc. A few people have mentioned surgery. Is that the best option? I have requested surgery from my doctor which he continues to refuse. Please help!!

Avatar n tn He said they grew due to my coughing and on re-examintion the nodules resolved after treatment of prednisone, antibiotics and cough suppressants. I was exposed to second hand smoke as a child. I lived in the midwest as a child.I haven't any respiratory symptoms at this time. Does having more than one nodule increase my chances that these may be cancerous? Could the nodules on the lungs and vocal cords be related? Please help me.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed last week with several thyroid nodules and 1 cyst./ I am getting a FNA on the largest nodule on the upper pole. I have had coughing and trouble swallowing for about a year. But for this last week I have been getting pretty short of breath and I wondered if this could be related. I almost went to the ER yesterday with this. Does thyroid problems cause SOB? I am at rest when this happes and I just feel like I am not able to take in enough 02.
1109439 tn?1259290757 I feel my thyroid in my left side of my neck all the time during the day, in the middle of the night i wake up with coughing fits and with a sore muscle feeling in my throut.
937826 tn?1261333879 I have another questions I have been doing alot of coughing been coughing up alot of plehm but for the past half hour I have been coughing up blood not a smear of blood but a half dollar size amount of blood each time should I worry about this.
Avatar n tn They did manage to bring her back and no sooner did they kick us out of there! The doctor sure had a scared look on his face too. Lately she has been coughing up blood and her hand gets to tingling from time to time. She also gets short of breath pretty often. Without any insurance, where do we turn from here? Are there any places that do body scans at reasonable prices as we are not made of money.
Avatar n tn Hi SusieQ2u, This is a tuff decision, nodules are usually taken more serious when they get to 10mm and bigger and yours is still a little smaller than that. The majority of the time these nodules are benign and are left overs from infection or anything that causes an intense inflammatory response like you said allergic reaction to chemicals and are just monitored by a succession of CT scans.
16202199 tn?1446063525 She has what is called a multi-nodular goiter, an enlarged thyroid with nodules. A goiter indicates the thyroid is under stress. Nodules are very common, especially among those of us with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (autoimmune thyroid disease). Although it seems counterintuitive, it's better to have multiple nodules than to have a single one. Solid nodules are overgrowths of thyroid tissue, and they don't produce thyroid hormone.
Avatar f tn Hi M, Your father at present is symptomatic (cough, shortness of breath) and his CT scan showed numerous nodules on both lungs. It is possible that these nodules are metastases from his base of the tongue cancer. The decision to give or not to give further cancer treatment/s will depend on a lot of things. Consider the age of the patient, risks and benefits of treatment, possible side effects, and end point in making a decision. For now, your father needs the best supportive care he can get.
Avatar f tn I ended up with chemical pneumonia. They ordered a CT of my lungs and found many nodules that was from asperating the stomach acid, and was in the hospital for three days waiting for it to "calm" down. It did with Albuterol treatments and other meds, the pulmonologist told me to have another CT in February. All of the little nodules cleared up by then except a couple that were stable and seen before on previous scans. I was then told to have a follow-up CT in August.
Avatar f tn rapid enlargement of a goiter over a few weeks, the onset of new thyroid-related pain, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, or coughing up blood; or a goiter in someone with risk factors for thyroid cancer, such as a person who had childhood radiation to their neck or who has a close relative with thyroid cancer.
Avatar f tn m feeling better but still coughing up mucus and my lymph nodes in my neck are tender and swollen, Is this normal for allergies/post-bronchitis? How long will this go on? If this is normal, how do I get my lymph nodes to go down? Thanks for your help!
Avatar f tn I have been having chronic hacking cough and itching i my throat. Wake up jagging and spitting up mucus also, recently very sick. Having asthma type symptoms. Tried inhalers and cough meds, and cough drops. Still improving but i feel my lymphs are swollen and scratching to top back of throat and sides, clearing throat, chest pressure. I hope its not a cyst but this is allergy season. I also have found out i have a goiter with nodules so i am going to have further test done.
