I'm a 20 y/o female 140lb.. no history of obesity, smoking, vaping, drugs, drinking, asthma or allergies and I haven't had any recent respiratory illnesses. I do have a history of anxiety and panic attacks.
In the past 3 or so weeks I've had problems breathing on and off. A few weeks ago, out of no where, I started feeling like I was suffocating or like I couldn't breathe. It felt like my nose and throat were closing and it was hard to get air in.
Says his throat hurts, dr decided he had some sort of reflux then and allergies. Now he has always had allergies but I never knew allergies to cause all the rest of this stuff. So came home with more meds. A few days later we were back at the drs office, she sent us to the hospital for blood work this time to check for mono and pneumonia.
I'm allergic and I know it!
I've been allergic ever since I was a little boy and I've learned to live with that. My problem is that during the last couple of years, I seem to get more and more sensitive to the allergens that trigger my reactions, as well as more prone to have shortness of breath as a primary reaction!
This year, although spring hadn't affected me so far, I happened to catch a cold (whether it was the flu, a cold or bacterial infection I don't know!
My FEV1 numbers are often well over 120%, and the next person may have a FEV1 of 85% and still be considered normal. It depends on the size of your lungs. I have a huge set of lungs for a person my size, but my asthma gives me a great deal of trouble with outdoor running during the winter time (thanks to cold air). Considering you can run with no problems is certainly indicative of healthy lungs.
My cat has been sneezing and having nasal discharge for a month now. She has no other symptoms. She plays,she eats well. Just sneezes and has nasal drainage. Her eyes are good. No swollen or runny eyes. Is this allergies? I noticed she usually only sneezes when her nose touches objects or she sniffs. Sometimes mucous comes out with the sneeze.
But my most important question is, could this possibly be EARLY emphysema??It also happened about two weeks after getting a cat..
FVC Pre 6.28 113% Post 6.22 112%
FEV1 Pre 4.38 95% Post 4.
My cat, Bity, is maybe about 9 or 10 years old. She's always been very healthy (besides being deaf, she is a white cat with blue eyes so this is very common), and has never shown signs of being sick besides having some allergies in the spring and summer. Just a few minutes ago, I noticed that she's breathing hard, her nostrils flare up and she even turns her head a little every time she breathes. I think it's also a little shallow, but I don't know.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
The causes for long term cough besides asthma are GERD and post nasal drip from allergies. GERD is gastro esophageal reflux disease where the stomach acids come back into the esophagus. This acid can provoke nerves, which can cause cough. In addition reflux into the lower esophagus can stimulate esophageal nerves that connect to and can stimulate nerves going to the lungs.
How do y'all deal with cat allergies?!?!? I've just recently become super allergic to my best friends cat's and I wanna be able to go see her without her cats killing me!!! (or me wanting to kill myself for that matter!) It's really bad, and my eyes, ears, throat, nose and basically whole body have really become anti-cats lately :( What should I do?!?!?! Thanks for the tips and suggestions friends!
Allergies aren't hereditary but they can come and go. Some people outgrow allergies and others get them when they are older. My little brother had a lot of allergies when he was a kid (including pet dander) and outgrew them, while I didn't have them as a child but became more prone to them as an adult.
I have had head pressure for about 3 years it go's on all day every day. My ears pop and I get ringing noise in them but it is not all the time once in a while. My mucus in my noise is pure white and thick all the time. My heart started fluttering about three months ago and I started to get these rashes all over my body but only when you put pressure on the skin, when it get irritated it gets large welts and very red. I'm tired all the time don't know why?
I have a cat on .25 ml drops every other day. It will most likely be long term. Should I be concerned....I like my vet, but am very leary about drugs.
He has a crippled front leg and has walked forward for his entire life....he is 13. He has developed gingivitis and cannot have any work on his teeth or any type of procedure requiring anesthetic. His internal organs have all come forward and are pushing on his lungs and heart.
I've been suffering from shortness of breath about the same time of the year every year for the last 8 years. I'm 46 now. They have done all kind of test on my lungs, thyroid and hart, including, stress tests, cat scans, etc. and everything is OK. I've been on Singular and Advair for allergies and asthma but still when I do some physical activities, I get short of breath really easily, even inside of my house with little chores.
over the next couple weeks i started getting vertigo whenever it felt like my ear was starting to open it would last 2 hours to 10 hours, not getting any answers from my doctor, i went to the emergency rm.
I was told with my first they don't develop allergies until the age of 1 or 2 yrs. I can't remember which. It's been 5 yrs ago lol. Having a cat will actually help build up their immune system.
