Question

They took x-rays of his chest and it was all clear. He also had
ashma when he was little could it be relaps of his ashma?
The only problem is that he doesn't wheezz.
Please help this has been going on for 2 months now.

Answer 1

Did he have the xray when he felt something was in his throat? If not, he could be having allergies to something that temporarily swells the passageways. This could get more serious, so be sure to follow up on it.

I would imagine that an xray would show an enlarged thyroid and stuff, but he is certainly entitled to a second opinion (and blood test). If he is having trouble breathing, ask for a referal to a specialist if the doc says nothing's wrong. Obviously something is wrong and doctors can't really mess around with breathing problems.

(Asthma isn't necessarily wheezing...it can also be a shortness of breath...he can ask for a breathing test.)

Answer 2

Hard to breath, xray is clear, Hx of asthma, no wheezes, feel like something in his throat.

Hey, why don't you try getting a referral to a pulmonary doctor?
If you are having an allergic reaction to something, he can help alleviate it.

There's a need for more information, like how old is this guy? Smoking history? Heart problems? Chronic breathing problems? Allergy problems that affect breathing [like this case, uh DuH! ]

Pulmonary doctors can ferret out these questions and get to the bottom of it.

Answer 3

See an Ear Nose Throat (ENT) Doctor about obstruction

He needs to see an allergist. Sounds like a food allergy.
