Question 1

can bulimia cause difficulty in breathing?

Accepted Answer

Bulemia: Patients that vomit frequently are at high risk to aspirate (vomit going into the lungs). This could cause a respiratory inflammatory process known as pneumonitis. This process could certainly be associated with wheezing.

Question 2

are breathing issues common with cidp?

Accepted Answer

NOT USUALLY: Cidp differs from guillain-barre, and may well be less dangerous to life and limb.  Does typically present with bilateral proximal and distal limb weakness, and some sensory problems, but cranial nerve involvement is inconstant, and respiratory compromise is unlikely, and best considered rare.

Question 3

how can i have an exercise routine without getting on those issuers like bulimia etc...

Accepted Answer

Reverse course: Healthy exercise routines do NOT cause bulimia or other eating/body image disorders. Those problems can lead to a symptom of excessive exercise as part of the disturbed eating/body image.  Talk w/ a coach at your gym or your health provider about your wishes and be honest w/ them. If they fear an ED, let them offer a Tx plan that can still include healthy exercise + therapy if you need it.

Question 4

if a person overdoses by accident lorasapam and pases out wakes up disoriented is breathing ok but acting strage will they be ok or have some issue.

Accepted Answer

Probably OK: Meds like Lorazepam are generally well tolerated in od.  Pt will usually have amnesia but o/w ok.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

It : It sounds like you are dealing with asthma and/or reflux disease. Asthma occurs when your parts of your lung (bronchioles)become inflammed and constrict. This is usually due to certain triggers such as cold air, exercise, allergens etc. The resultant symptoms are shortness of breath, wheezing, tightness in the chest. The symptoms you described in yuor post could definitely be due to asthma. To be sure you need a medical evaluation. Your doctor will likely prescribe an inhaler to help open up your airway. 
As far as the pain you are having in your lungs and airway. This is a little more difficult to pinpoint a cause. Possibly acid reflux is responsible. Again, your doctor needs to evaluate , diagnose and treat you.
Best of luck.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Bulimia damage: Hormonal imbalance, hair loss, damage to the heart muscle, damage to the esophagus, throat and teeth, and life threatening imbalances in fluid and electrolytes are associated complications.

Question 7

can you please discuss the possible health issues caused by bulimia?

Accepted Answer

Bulimia: Bulimia is an extremely dangerous, and in a good number of serious cases, a life threatening condition.  Electrolyte imbalance, damage to the throat and esophagus, and dehydration happen early on.  Later, hormonal imbalance, hair loss, damage to the heart, severe fluid and electrolyte imbalance can lead hospitalization and in some cases, death.

Question 8

im having major issues with breathing at random times. what could be happening..?

Accepted Answer

Several conditions: If you suddenly become short of breath, it may be due to a number of conditions, including asthma, a blood clot, small areas of collapse in the lung. 
I would suggest noting down any possible triggers such as exercise, cold air or pollen.
I would suggest pulmonary function tests and a follow up with your physician.

Question 9

18 and never had breathing issues.just became active and realized:have issues breathing even on very short runshave slight issue breathing when cold?

Accepted Answer

Could be asthma: If you are having breathing issues with exercise or cold air, asthma is a strong possiblity.  Please see your Dr. ASAP for evaluation and treatment.

Question 10

i was on glipirzide for a month and they think i'm having bad reactions to it with my breathing. i've stopped taking it three days ago, still having issues, how long before the drug is out of my system?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis: Needs to be reviewed with your treating doc. Breathing issues are not common side effects for glipizide and its half life is estimated at hours in patients with normal liver and kidney function with effects that should not last more than 1-2 days even for extended release formulations. it is more likely that your breathing issues have a different cause that has to be further investigated.
