My child's asthma starts gradually, usually when catching cold or drinking anything cold, first some coughing appears, after 1-2 days the coughing becomes more persistent until is non stop and if not taken to A&E asthma will settle. She is then prescribed steroids tablets and antibiotics. Howver doctors are reluctant to give her anything before the asthma or chest infection has started. I wonder if there is anything I can do to stop asthma and/or chest infection settled in.

I have hypothyroidism and have recently been diagnosed with COPD/Emphysema. I was wondering if anyone would know about both conditions together. I do know the hypo thyroids already slow the body to some extent but, I am curious about if a person has both. Anything you can share would be appreciated.

I'm desperate!! Please help.
I have a case study due for school. What is the medical dx?

Patient: 42y/o, SOB, underweight, high WBC & BUN & PB. Anxious, in & ex wheeze, weak, dry cough. Dyspnic, tachycardia & pnea, temp 102.2. Cool & clammy. Hyptoactive bowel.

Here's my thinking:
Pneumonia - no because cough is usually productive and not wheezing like in case study.

TB - maybe, but usually crackles and chest pain, but not in study.

PE- tachypenia, dyspnea & anxiety fit, but what are breath sounds with PE? Why a fever if PE?

COPD - cough is usually productive. Why would pt have fever & high WBC?

Asthma - fits best with the presentation, but wheeze is more common on expiration. More important, why does the pt have the fever, high WBC & high BUN?

Bronchitis has a productive cough.

BUN can be kidney, sepsis, excess protein consumption, starvation, dehydration, or cardiac failure.
Pt is very thin. Can BUN be due to starvation & starvation due to dyspnea? But why fever

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia ten years ago but now I am questioning the diagnosis. Two months ago after two sleep studies, the doctor told me I had RLS and put me on requip. The medication is helping with the restless leg syndrome and the FMS is also much better. Could the two be related or was I misdiagnosed?

Ive suffered restricted nasal cavities since I was 18 years old. I used nasal sprays back then for 3 years straight. I was convinced by a doctor that claimed it wasnt good. So I fought this issue all these years. Now I am 50 and its getting even worse. Doctors have tried sutifeds which work great on sinuses but hyper the heck out of me to the point of panic attack. Nasal steroids for alergies dont seem to phase it what so ever. And I dont have a sinus infection. Saline nasal sprays are non productive.

Ive since went back on over the counter nasal sprays. I feel so alive now, sleeping is a pleasure. But I need my nasal spray fix every 8 hours.

My question to you is... Is there any non evasive nasal restriction treatments that dont include surgery? And or things ive already tried?
