Left lung of my wife was constricted, its tubes became smaller than her right lung. Her posture was also affected, she was now leaning on her left. I suspect that her spinal chords was also disalligned or her left ribs cage was also constricted.

I went to a new pharmacy in my area and I suspect the pharmacist gave me a different cough medicine in my bottle than what is labeled. It has absolutely no effect on me as it usually helps me sleep and stops my wheezy cough. It tastes like pure cherry flavoring. Is there a way to have the medicine analyzed? He also tried to fill all my refils and make me pay for them (4 scripts in all for expensive asthma meds) and I was alarmed as he did charge me for 2 same inhalers!! The others, he said, my insurance would not let him fill!!! The cost was already over 100!!. He was the cookiest pharmacist and his helper was rolling her eyes at him while he muttered to himself. Very strange.

My father had prostate cancer treated with surgery and radiation. Subsequently, complications such as constricted ureters led him to depending on stents that keep getting infected possibly because of his suppresed immune system. Are there any other solutions because everytime he gets an infection his creatinine jumps to 7-8.

its nothing big. im just wondering wat caused my respiratory infection. i cant breath it sucks. thursday night at like 5 i was at school with my friends andrew, grace, and germaine and it was raining and a lot of the walkways were flooded and so was the grass and it was all muddy and stuff. and me and andrew were pushing each other into the big puddles and holding each other out of the walk way and gettin each other wet. and my hair was soaking wet. and so were my clothes. but i had 2 wear them. i couldnt take em off cuz i had no other clothes with me. and i was at school until 9. still in my wet clothes, i was outside most of the time and it was like 60 degrees.

would that have caused a respiratory infection? sorry. im not too smart.

I was over at my new girlfriend's place and she and 2 or 3 other people were smoking as well. So the house smelled like smoke, they did smoke in the house. Later, I was feeling ok then suddenly I thought I smelled like smoke and found myself really tired, going to bed unusually early. I woke up this morning with headaches which also could've been sinus headaches but I'm not sure. Does second hand smoke inside the house cause headaches or unusual tiredness?

12/26/06, my 10 yrs old was in ICU with smoke inhalation damage from a house fire. She was in the hospital for one month and released on 1/26/07. She is on an inhaler now. If the doctors said her lungs were BLACK and she was critical, how does the lungs clear itself up? She seems fine now and for this I am grateful. Any advice is appreciated!

I need some tips on living with someone with sleep apnea. My father was diagnosed while he was in prison with sleep apnea and was on a cpap machine. When he was released he was not on a cpap machine and has snored horribly, keeping me up all night. I've tried to talk him into doing a sleep study so he can get a cpap machine but he has told me numerous times that he wants to wait until he loses weight and gets his diabetes under control. His diabetes is under control, but he is still convinced that he will stop snoring once he loses weight. He doesn't realize that he snored just as bad as he is now when he was a healthy weight.

My room is right next to his, the walls are paper thin, I am losing so much sleep I don't know what to do anymore. Can anyone with this kind of experience give me some tips on how to get used to it?

Last tuesday I went to the er because I couldn't breathe. The doctor sent me home with medicine, and said that I had pleurisy. I went back yesterday cause my chest was hurting again. Now, I have bronchitis to go with the pleurisy. He gives me an anitibiotic and some steriods. Now, my blood pressure is low, and my pulse stays at 120, and if I stand up, it jumps to 160. Should I go back to the ER? I'm scared for my heart, and it feels like it's going to jump out of my chest. Thanks.
