Common Questions and Answers about Coughing shortness of breath
coughing
If you have asthma it can get worse in pregnancy, also allergies can cause it or anemia can make you feel that way. I felt that way at the point you are at my OB said it happens sometimes plus the fatigue of pregnancy. Shortness of breath comes at some point in pregnancy, some earlier than others. I would mention it to your OB next time you see them but unless you are dizzy, light headed feeling faint from the shortness of breath I wouldn't worry too much.
is slowly but surely making your world smaller and smaller. Because of your fears of the shortness of breath and possibly the anxiety associated with that, you no longer drive very far from home nor do you drive alone. You have stopped going out, you have stopped flying and even if you do force yourself to go out with friends, you don't enjoy yourself.
I had slight shortness of breath then, not troublesome at all. I was prescribed metroprolol. Shortness of breath was much worse; soon I was in the ER, feeling that I couldn't breathe. In March, I had AVR with a xenograft, no problems. But two weeks later shortness of breath took me to ER again, after which my surgeon Dx orthostatic hypotension and metroprolol was discontinued.
For some their only symptom is a dry cough. What other symptoms do you have outside of shortness of breath? Most people with lung issues often have a cough, chest tightness, and wheezing is certainly common. If you question your asthma diagnosis, then did you did a "methacholine" challenge test? If you tested positive for this one, you have definitely asthma..
I also looked up the syptoms of an allergy to the formaldehyde found in carpet and the short term effects are flu like symptoms, and the long term effects are shortness of breath, chest pains or tightness, cough and weezing!! It all fits! I sure hope this is it because I want to get better before allergy season starts back up!!
I had been hospitalized for 3 years in a row all in the same month march, for shortness of breath. They thought it was asthma. The last time which was this year, they hospitalized me for a week. Which they ran lots of test and determined I have COPD. The symptoms I had were shortness of breath, tired, and coughing. Oxygen doesn't seem to help, medication wasn’t helping too (Spiriva and Advair plus nose sprays).
s now been more than three weeks I experience constant (each second of the night and day) shortness of breath. It progressively slipped into my existence in the form of recurring episodes that lasted a few hours, and become more and more frequent with each passing day. Coming along with it was almost constant post-nasal drip, and periodic cough phases (I get an itchy throat once in a few days when the night comes) as well as a stuffy nose (my sense of smell is not affected).
t mention any other symptoms, like coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing or chest tightness? GERD sometimes can cause problems where the stomach contents aspirate high enough up the esophagus to reach the voice chords or into your lungs. When it hits the sensitive tissue of the vocal chords it does damage and the response is to produce mucous.
She has shortness of breath and is unable to take deep breaths without it causing a coughing fit. The doctors have given her bronchodilators and allergy medication and her condition does not get any better. They now insist that its acid reflux. However, the medication does not help. She sometimes has a low grade fever and her body is super achy from all the coughing. She has had biopsys done and ct scans all come back normal. Still no definitive answer on what the cause of the cough.
I am on different meds and thought maybe it may be one of these.. but again how would I know which one(meds) would cause the shortness of breath.. one Dr. says its esphagus spasms, another said its bronchial spasms... dang this doesn't help me get better here??? any thoughts? I am miserable and scared!!!
hi, im been having having an itchy dry cough and shortness of breath for more then 2 months now.
i'ven been to doctors countless times now.
and everymoring i get a runny and stuffed nose.
first i went to a local clinic , the doctor say he suspects its asthma, gave me an inhaler, didn't have an effect on the syptoms at all. Then i went to a private doctor, he said it is allergies + post nasal drip.
gave me a spray for my nose and a weak allergie medication.
Avandaryl,Coumadin,Xanax,Diclofenac,Neurontin,Enalapril,Protonix
A recent month long cold with lots of coughing etc, no fever and more frequent bouts of shortness of breath sent me to see my PCP. I thought I developed pneumonia like several other people I know who had the same lingering cold.
After verifying my lungs were clear and my oxygenation was excellent he gave me an ekg since it was in my records that I sometimes would go into A Fib but always converted out to normal rhythm.
I get shortness of breath and coughing when i am hypo. What were your test results? Give us your last numbers with ranges so we can see. Just because your dr said you are within normal ranges doesn't mean you are...lol
Some are not using the newest ranges. Also did he run a tsh, free t4 and free t3? Did anyone run antibody tests as well? If you have hashis, then your ranges are completely diff. Get your most recent labs and post them so we can take a look. :)
Hang in there!
I've seen similiar questions here but felt compelled to ask...
I'm 29 and I've been living with reflux for a long time. Sometimes I've medicated, other times I've had remissions. Recently, I woke up at 2 a.m. after eating something spicy and felt shortness of breath, combined with acid. I was coughing but it was unproductive and dry. This feeling continued and prompted me to see the doc.
The common causes of blood in cough are bronchitis, irritation of the throat from violent coughing, blood clot in lungs, tuberculosis of lungs, vasculitis etc.Though you do not have any symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath you should see your doctor and get evaluated. A clinical examination and tests like sputum culture and smear, blood counts may be necessary. Further tests will depend on the test results. Treatment will be specific based on the cause. I hope it helps.
I have never been short of breath in my life, however since I stopped smoking, I find myself out of breath, at strange times, even when sitting at rest. Apart from that, I feel completely fine. Is this just part of stopping smoking?
It seems to be very difficult to find information on the side effects of stopping smoking!
Thanks,
Richard.
The chronic cough and shortness of breath are common side effects of Inf/Riba. You might talk to your doctor about taking an antihistamine to reduce the post nasal drip and cough reflex. I take claritin which helps this.
Also, I see you're able to post under your original name so good to see you got your posting problems worked out.
