I came into work this morning (something I really didn't want to have to do) and my boss is now complaining that she is feeling unwell, she's also pregnant. Could she have caught bronchitis off of me in such a short period of time, i.e. five hours???

So last night my son was trying to help me unclog the bathroom sink drain. He mixed bleach, grease lightning cleaner, and the works toilet bowl cleaner, and fantastic cleaner. So he comes down and says I think I did something wrong the sink is smoking. I went up stairs and had to try and clean it out. When I did I breathed in the chemical mixture and now my chest burns, my throat hurts and my nose is cloged. Is there anything I can do to help the symtoms go away and stop the burning in my throat and chest?

Hi to anyone taking the time to read this and thank you. Does any one in here get bronchitis a few times a year. If so, does anyone have any tips on what to eat, what to avoid, even what areas of the US are the best places to live to avoid getting it so frequently. Does stress factor into it? Thanks for any info. peace

It has been 4 days since I last had a cigarette. I am still slightly irritated everytime my girlfriend opens her mouth, and I still feel as though something is missing, and my mouth tastes crap.

Anyone know how much longer I have to go before things return to normality?

I don't mess around with anyone. I take care of his ex lovers little evil spawn. And I know her mother is a Carrier of MRSAI was told that anyone who has MRSA can pass it on just drinking from my cup or glass. This child is also a carrier just like her mother But everyone is mad now because I told them the doctor told me this woman can spread what she has. Just from eating off my dishes and using my bathroom is this raelly true. I am really scared who else she could be spreading this to. Because she lives with my son and his wife and 3 small children.

I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, I am taking 40mg. of Prednisone, and 800mg. of Bactrim. I am 32 yrs. old, and a smoker trying to quit. I still have more tests to take to see if it is in my eyes and heart. I haven't worked in a year, but I guess wondering if it is possible to get a job, and what kind of job could I do. I applied for SSI and Disability for Depression a year ago, and they denied me, then I added my Sarcoidosis before they make a decision in November. So, is it possible to get a job, and still have this disease? Or is anyone that has this disease still working or not. My brother seems to think this disease is nothing and I can still work, just wanting to see if it is possible or not.

When I was in elementary school, I use to experience this all the time...Just under my jaw, it would start burning and itching. Then I start coughing really badly and have trouble breathing. It went away for a long time. But I just came back from walking, and I am having those same symptoms again. (I am 24 years old now)I haven't been active in awhile, but I did walk 2 days ago the same route and I was completely fine. What is going on? Should I get this checked out?

How many of you use, or know someone who uses a CPAP machine at night to help them breathe and not to snore?

I am very curious about this, since CPAPs save lives all over the world. I think we all need more education on CPAP machines, and we need to spread the word that if people snore or stop breathing at night, they should have a sleep study done.

Sleep Apnea causes high blood pressure, can cause strokes and heart attacks. It sometimes makes people have heartburn at night, and makes them sleepy during the day. People can become forgetful or irritated. This is just a short list of all the damage that having untreated sleep apnea can cause.
