I am currently enrolled in a Respiratory Therapy Program at a local college and just recently became aware that a misdemeanor may hurt me. We have contacted certain people and have not really been given a strait answer. My question is "Am I able to get a State license in Texas with a misdemeanor on my record?" and "Does anyone know of someone who has come across this??" My misdemeanor was NOT a "conviction" and I've been told that only convicted misdemeanors will prevent one from getting a licence. I have been turned down for 2 jobs already and things are starting to get scary. PLEASE HELP!!!

Emphesema (I don't know how to spell it) or lung cancer????? My mother is 45 years old, and for the past 2 months she has been sick.. Having a horrible cough and usually hacking up flem.. She has been a smoker for 30 years, and she had throat cancer 6 years ago.. ( and very stupidly didn't quit smoking.) Also her father died of lung cancer, so it does run in the family... I have been trying to get her to go to the doctors for the past few weeks but she insist that it is only a cold and continues to use over the counter cold and cough meds, which are still NOT working.....



I should add that 80% of the time during this illness the coughing mostly affects her when she is resting....
Also she is 5'2 and weighs 100 lbs.

Any ideas on what it could be?... I fear the worst, but she refuses to go to the doctor...

Hi everyone! I was hoping you might be able to help answer my question... I've been having asthma problems lately (from a sinus infection and unseasonably warm weather). I'm on Prednisone, Flovent, and Albuterol treatments (all from my primary care) for my asthma alone, in addition to about 4 other medications for allergies and my sinus infection. My question is, if I have to go into the ER tonight for asthma symptoms (I had to go in 2 days ago too, but left before I was seen because I had a doctors appointment with my primary early in the morning and there would have been a 6 hour wait, therefore i would have been seen quicker just going to my existing appointment), would the doctors or nurses think I was "faking" or just having an "anxiety attack" (even though I do not suffer from anxiety) given the following information:

-I was not presently wheezing (although I was earlier)
-It feels laborous to breathe and I'm tired from breathing (you can visibly see me struggling)

I need some comforting please. I get very anxious about my health when I don't heal up quickly, even over something like mild chest congestion. I've had some mild congestion in my throat that doesn't want to clear up, and I've also got quite a bit of mucus that keeps draining from my sinus cavity. It's probably related I'm sure.

This has been ongoing for well over a month, when is it time to consult my physician? I hate to bother him over something that could just be normal, it makes me feel like a hypochondriac. Anyone else out there ever have a lingering chest cold that just took extra extra long to fully recover from? I just want someone to tell me they've experienced the same thing, it'll make me feel so much better.

I have tightness in chest while exersizing. This is pretty normal for me, I've never really exersized much. I'm really just lazy. I'm wondering if its just that i'm out of shape and thats why I have tightness in my chest or if it is asthma. I've never had an asthma atack. Is it just low lung capacity from lack of exersize??

I've coughed up a couple small light yellow/green pieces of solid phlegm. The odor is awful. Is this a sign of something very serious?

In terms of general health, I feel fine. No coughing, swollen glands, short-breath, etc.

Hi, I was told by my pharmacist that Singulair [for asthma and bad allergies] would make me feel like I had the "flu" for the first week or so, but in addition I also feel wierd personality changes, "not myself," however my breathing is SO much better...I have done some research and found that other people have also been more angry on this medicine, I am wondering if this is a temporary, initial thing, or if I should dis-continue it because it is a permanent side-effect. Thanks! I am currently on 10mg and am thinking of cutting back to 5mg to check it out...I am also 110 pounds so maybe this will make a difference...?
