Every year I get this loud, chesty cough that lasts anywhere from a month to 2 months, where I'm coughing everyday. Sometimes I cough up phlem, but usually not. At times it's rather painful and I get these urges that I can't resist and I have coughing fits. *cough* Like right now. I've never seen a doctor for it. What do you think this could be?

I started over a week ago, but instead of regulating my moods, I find myself having more angry outbursts, crying or wanting to cry all the time, decreased patience and I seem to be unable to think clearly for much of the following day. I was only started on 25 mg and have just increased to 100 and felt even worse. I have a four month old and do not like being so sedated in case she wakes up and my husband is having to do all of the work so I can take my meds early enough to try to have them out of my system. It seems either I do not get to help take care of my children after work, or I will not be able to work the next day b/c I have taken my medication too late and can't wake up. I have been researching online but there seems to be SO much out there. Without meds I tend to be more tired in the day, insomnia at night, raging mood swings and extreme anxiety. Any suggestions I should ask my doctor? I am not even sure what to ask.

Very rarely, usually during the mornings, I find that I have to breathe really hard and fast though I'm not exercising. I also feel a sort of strain in my chest that sort of fades after each breath.

Is this normal?

Started out with a sore throat. Turned into running nose and severe headaches. Turned into severe productive cough (green phelgm), vomiting and now nose is stuffed up. Fever for 5 days so far. Absoultely no appetite or energy. Chest feels like its being crushed. The other night I woke up in the middle of the night and it felt like there was a band of pain around my chest. I called the squad and my blood pressure and pulse were way up. They said I must have been coughing in my sleep. Tylenol brings my fever down some, but not to normal. Went to doc, gave me antibiotics and Sudafed. Any other suggestions?

My son has been sick many many times over the past year and the Doctor is finally starting to run tests. I think it may be a poor immue system. I forgot to mention to his doctor that my sister has RH factor blood and was born with mild retardation and very bad immunity, The doctors never really found why she was born that way or what is wrong with her. I didn't think it was that important. His doctors can't find what is wrong with him.
Anyways, I have A+ blood and his father I think has B or AB blood I was wondering what the odds are that my son will have AB blood with RH factor and if it would cause his immune system to fail consistantly.
If anyone knows anything about blood types please contact me and let me know if RH factor would effect an immune system in an adult and what the chances are that my son would have AB with RH factor blood.

I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis in 2005. It is hard but I have been dealing with it but it still stresses me out totally. I am 34 & have been on oxygen for 2 years now.
Over the past couple of weeks, my sides started hurting really bad, I actually felt like I was having a heartattack Thursday morning. I went to see my doctor and asked if he would xray my lungs since it had been awhile. (I was really dreading the outcome!)! He informed me that the Sarcoidosis has spreaded to the outer edges of my lungs. It was bad enough that it covered the parts of my lungs around my espagus, which causes the trouble breathing & pain. The pain gets so bad that I have to vomit. (sorry). I take plenty of medicine but it doesn't really help when I am having a bad flare up.
So how am I supposed to accept that this is getting worse. There is no cure for this disease. I also have Pulmonary Hypertention, which I was told only a lung transplant would fix. Can anyone give me some advice???

How to help a cat with pneumonia? Please help?
P.S. When I give a tablet of antibiotic to her, she draws a lot of saliva on her mouth? Does this means that she is allergic to an antibiotic?
She is approximately 3 years old female cat.
She only drink a lot of water and take some milk, she does not urinate, she lies and sleeps all day and night. I have no Vet available in my town nor near to it.

I have asthma and been to the doc 2 times. Been on 2 antibotics and 2 different steroids. I have had a blood test and my white blood cells are normal and a chest x ray and it said I had bronitis. I can breath as long as I'm on steriods but once that is gone I have trouble breathing. I can't afford to keep going to the doctor and the medicine I'm just lost as to what my next step should be. I have also taken 1 bottle of Robtussin 1 bottle of Tyneol cold and 1 bottle of Musnex to loosen up the phlum and nothing has worked with this in almost 2 months.
