Pulmonologist•Nanded

Lung capacity (or total lung capacity) refers to the total volume of air contained in the lungs after one complete inhalation and is a direct summation of your respiratory capacity and residual capacity (the amount you inhale and the amount your lungs can keep). A diminished lung capacity can stem from a number of conditions such as asthma, emphysema, lung cancer, or from bad habits such as excessive smoking. This, however, can be combated by a number of means.

Female age: 18 height: 5’7 weight: 65-67 kg on 26 june 2022 I threw up blood for the first time (fresh blood and just containing blood, no sort of fluid but only fresh red blood) within some minutes I got severe chest pain and it was unbearable kept throwing since that day to this day. I was admitted to the emergency room they told me it happens sometimes so they let me go. At the start I used to throw up around 7-11 times in a day, I was admitted in the hospital again. The doctors thought it would be a tear so they started giving me medicines for that. My blood tests showed that I had blood deficiency and a bit of inflammation, I got almost all tests done and the doctor could’t catch the cause for all this. I did an endoscopy and they diagnosed me with mild gastritis but nothing that severe that would cause me bleeding. The doctors recommended me to get a chest xray, they had their doubts about my lungs so they started treating me with medicines for that. The medicines didn’t help and it didn’t stop my bleeding. I then went to an ent and he did my nose and throat endoscopy, he diagnosed me with a scratched throat and said it was probably because of that that I was bleeding. The ent gave me another course of medicines and they still did not help me any way. After that the doctors had doubt that I may have blood cancer but all the tests for that were clear, then there were doubts about liver problems but my liver was healthy as well. So they kept on treating me for problems within my lungs, I stopped taking those medicines and iv lines cause they did not work. My doctors told me they had no idea what was wrong with me and they were’t even sure if they had made the right diagnosis. Since that I have not went to a doctor nor am I taking my medications anymore. Symptoms:⁃ throwing up blood 2-4 times a day ⁃difficulty breathing ⁃chest pain ⁃dizziness and fatigue ⁃body pain⁃stomachache ⁃difficulty swallowing and eating ⁃headaches ⁃nausea medical history:⁃march 2019, left side brain hemorrhage things that make it worse -eating meat ⁃eating spicy food ⁃exhaustion ⁃working too much (playing, running, walking for a bit too long, etc) ⁃stress ⁃high altitudes type of pain:- sharp pain right in the middle of my chest (feels like a pointy nerve pain, that's the best I can explain)

Asked for female, 40 years old from new delhi

My 6 year old daughter is suffering from wheezing and cough. On and off since last 2 years. She was absolutely fine during summer months and nebulization was not required but condition worsened during winters in delhi. Doctors have diagnosed it as allergic bronchitis. She is been given budesal 0.5 and salbair 0.31 and 5 ml montair syrup her conditions improves a lot after nebulization. Now the doctor has advised to give budecort inhaler 2 puffs twice a day and she is taking it. Her allergy panel test is done and ige was 10. She has been advised to stay from dust, moulds, cold food and air. Pls advise if the paediatrician has given the right treatment? Are the inhalers safe without any side effects. Will the child get dependent on inhalers? Can steroids slow the growth (height/weight)? For how long are the inhalers required? Any food restrictions like junk food?

Health Query

Hello! i'm currently down with the cold (the 2nd of back to back colds, and happened to noticed that my right tonsil was very swollen and my uvula was sticking/touching it as a result. I still can 'detach' the uvala from the tonsil when I cough or blow air but when I leave it alone it touches/sticks to the right tonsil. Currently other than a bad cough and runny blocked nose, my throat pain is only around a 3-4 out of 10, so i'm not in much pain. Went to consult my gp about the cold but he didn't mention anything about this when he checked my throat. I don't have any problems with breathing and swallowing right now. Is this normal when i'm sick? And once I recover, is it possible that the right tonsil will remain swollen?
