My Chihuahua mix seems to gasp for air all of a sudden. Sometimes he vomits what he ate before having these attacks.
I freak out whenever this happens!
Whenever this happens his ribs are very noticible.
Is this normal?
Pls. someone help.

For about 10 years, I have had a feeling of constriction in the top of my throat, just under my jaw, as though I am being choked. It is exacerbated by environmental and emotional triggers, and singing.

I was diagnosed with asthma about 12 years ago, but my lungs are fine. I exercise normally, w/occasional exercised-induced asthma. I have had mixed success with asthma drugs: Claritin works not at all, and albuterol works OK, though steroidal drugs, such as Qvar and cortizone, seem to work best.

About 15 years ago, I had intensely painful symptoms of temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome, which I still have, but with minor symptoms.

I do not experience significant problems with my voice or eating. I have seasonal respiratory infections.

The throat constriction pain is mild, but very annoying. Is this VCD, and, if so, is there effective treatment? I asked this question before and received good answers, for which I am grateful, but I wanted to see what more I can find.

As I have posted previously, I've noticed that I don't breathe as deeply or fully as I used to. I suspect I've developed a mild case of adult asthma.

I'm going to get this checked out at my next physical. Although I'm not overly concerned, I'm wondering if there might be some sort of natural remedy or tonic (herbal or otherwise) that can be used to help clear the lungs and improve breathing.

It's mostly around my heart area. I took some robitusin earlier but it isn't getting any better. What should I do? What could I have? I don't smoke.

I've been sick for a week now and have been coughing a little bit. Nothing too bad. Tonight, I can NOT stop coughing. It's 1AM and I can't get to sleep because the second I lay down I start coughing every 10-15 seconds or so. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this, even if its just temporary?

I am looking for statistics about causes of lung disease...
and expecting that it has asthma or lung cancer due to air pollution or car exhaust.
In other words, I want to know how many % of people get lung disease from air pollution or car exhaust.

Sharp chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen hand, popping sound in chest.

I am 26 and I have been experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath since around 21. In the last two years I have noticed that my breathing is getting worse. I hear an audible popping sound when I breath deep. I also have sharp pain from breathing deep. Breathing is almost a task now. It is more difficult to breath when I'm laying down. I feel pain in my left arm and I have general discomfort in the chest. I'm in good shape. My younger brother had heart surgery at 19 and I have a family history of heart problems. How can I convince a doctor to check out my heart.

Yesterday was a hot sunny day. I was hydrated the whole time... but in the middle of my workout, I started having trouble breathing. It felt like I had a large "air bubble" in my throat or something. My chest didn't hurt much, and my muscles were ok. ONLY my throat was filled with snot and I had trouble breathing. Any way to cure this/ help this???

and she seems to have terrible breath. I have tried to find some information via the net about weather it may mean that the areas might be infected. I'm still waiting her Dr.'s office to call me back but they are so busy that it takes them forever to get back to me. Any info would be wonderful!

The mother is no loner living..

Now she is an adult and does not have TB, however now her right kidney was beginning to give her problems that caused her to stay in the hospital for one week...Her Doctor said her kidney is weakening..that it is not pumping normally...
Does this mean she also has chronic Pylonephritis?(Kidney Diease)

I snore terribly and have gone thru tests and apparently I have Sleep Apnea. I've been given this horendous machine that makes me feel like Darth Vader to help me "breathe" properly at night, but I can't cuddle with hubby or relax or move for that matter? Is it worth using it? I truly despise the thing.
