Does anybody know anything or have had an experience with this problem??

My daughter's lung collapsed at birth and after three weeks was released from the NICU with no medications or machines. She was sounding very congested and her Dr. finally referred her to an ENT. That Dr. found that her adnoids were growing down into her throat which caused apnea. She is too young for surgery but her apnea monitor sounds often. A sleep study has confirmed that her saturation (blood oxygen) dropped below 70 % at times and put her on oxygen at home when she sleeps which is quite the challenge. Since then she has also been diagnosed with PDA and ASD Heart diseases; Anemia (even with iron suppliments); high platelet count; pulmonary hypertension. I'm at my witts end! I feel that I'm seeing all these different doctors and no one is putting the information together. They are all puzzled at how healthy she looks to have all of these things wrong. Is anyone in a simular situation or could shed some light on what could be going on? She is so precious. God bless!

The cough is so mild, that sometimes I just have to clear my throat. It is a very very mild irritation, but has lasted for a year now. Could this be HIV, or what?

What is the longest amount of time anyone has felt chest discomfort when quitting smoking? Is 6 weeks too long to be feeling this discomfort? Thre is a doctor appointment set up for Tuesday, so just looking for opinions now!

P.S. The feeling is soreness and tightness, almost constantly! And it's in a 26 year old female.

THANKS.

It is far past cold and flu season but I can feel myself coming down with something. My throat has been scratchy all day and I have sneezed a couple of times. What do you use to prevent or get over a cold faster?

My mom is suffering really bad from gallbladder attacks. She was due to have surgery next month. Today, she is so sick and I called the surgeon and told him she was having a major attack. I wanted to see if I could take her to the E.R. and possibly have emergency surgery. She hasn't eaten in days and nothing stays down. I was told there was no such thing as emergency gall bladder surgery and she would have to wait two more weeks for surgery. Isn't this crazy. Dad and I have got to watch her suffer for the next few weeks. She already suffers from fibromyalgia and neuropathy. I don't think she's gonna make it. What in the world should we do?
