Respiratory Diseases

I have to take a physical for softball in the Spring. Is there anyway my doctor can tell I smoke. If so when should I stop smoking so my doctor possible can't tell I smoke?

Every once in a while, I get a sharp pain on the side of my chest. And it hurts when I breathe in. It only lasts a few seconds though.

I HAVE OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER
is this just an anxiety attack?

My boy has a cold. The doctor listened to his chest and says it's not bronchial so it's nothing serious...but he can't go 5 mins without coughing. What can I give him to help soothe his throat and chest. His little tummy must be hurting by now. I will not give him cough medicine, so I need some natural suggestions...no tea either, I don't want to caffenate him!

My dad has pneumonia. The Dr. gave him an antibiotic and sent him home and had him come back the next day for a chest CT scan. The following day the Dr. called and sent him to the hospital. At the hospital they did tests, told my dad his lungs looked horrible. They did not admit him, but they are having him follow up with a pulmonologist.

If his lungs looked horrible, why would they not treat him at the hospital? If it wasn't serious enough for him to be hospitalized why would they tell him his lungs looked bad and refer him to a specialist? If it wasn't serious why not just have him finish the antibiotics and follow up with his normal doctor?

Do you think they found something else on the ct scan and haven't told him yet? My dad had a 3 pack a day habit until 5 years ago. He started smoking at 10, stopped at 27 and started again at 37 and smoked until 60.

I'm kind of concerned.

80 % Of of the day, one if my nasal passages are always congested. Sometimes both are. I recently went with a product ZICAM and it relieves it temporarily. I've asked the doctor and all he tells me is to you these congestion relief sprays. I've always had this since a kid. I've had problems with colds all my life, but i get nasal congestion even when i dont have colds. I've also had problems with tonsils all my life aswell.I still have them and still have scarring from previous problems with them. I added that cause i might of thought that played a role in the nasal congestion.

Hi.. About two weeks ago i had bronchitis.. I went to the doctors and they prescribed zithromax.. While i had bronchitis i still continued to smoke weed (about a quarter a week). I finished the the prescription and 2 weeks later i'm still smoking the same amount of marijuana a week and i have a cough that doesnt seem to go away. It's not a constant cough, like it doesn't happen every second and its not a real hard cough. The cough is like i'm just trying to clear my throat and i also have a stuffed nose still but it's not that runny. So i'm wondering.. have i developed chronic bronchitis or chronic cough? Or do i have early symptoms of emphasema? Thanks for you answers..

Has anyone ever woken up from sleep but been unable to move? You try to scream and you cant, and you start to panic. What causes this and how can you get it to stop?

I'm a 25 female. I have been waking up every morning with a very sore throat and very swollen lymph nodes in the throat but within an hour of waking up the pain and swelling are both gone. I have no other symptoms other than that. This condition can last for months :(, I also feel mucous standing in my throat and casnt get rid of it.Sometimes I also wake up with a bitter taste in my mouth, dunno if all these symptoms are related. I dont suffer from any other diseases, only Anemia though (although I believe I improved a lot). What do you think the reason is? and is there a way to treat it naturally??? I hate medicine :((

...in other words, my lung collapsed and I had to have surgury to reattach it the wall of my chest in order to prevent further collapse. Just curious if this something I should be keeping an eye on, even though it has been fixed? What I'm most concerned about is the build up of scare tissue.

Hey there everyone, I had a mini shunt implanted into my left eye for glaucoma yesterday. They didn't stick a tube all the way down my throat just a mouth piece put to the back of my throat. I had a cold/sinus infection about a week and a half ago, was on antibiotics and had a lingering cough. The anesthisiologist gave me Robinol to dry up my nasal secretions with my sedatives. After surgery it hurt to breathe in deeply and I was am still bringing up blood, both black and red, from my nose and chest. I went to the ER last night but they couldn't really find anything. Any thoughts what could be causing all of this? Thanks
