Accepted Answer

Start with Sinuses: You should start by addressing the sinus problems. Typically sinusitis causes postnasal drip which falls down the back of the throat and into the area where the opening to your wind pipe is, causing inflammation/irritation. Begin with daily hypertonic saline nasal washes (available OTC) and nasal steroid spray to reduce the inflammation. Talk to your PCP. They can treat for bacterial infection.

Question 9

hi doctor i wanted to ask
about if there happens to be something with my lungs because i get shortness of breath my chest often hurts and my upper back and the bottom of my ribs in my front side?

Accepted Answer

Please get evaluated: Shortness of breath associated with chest pain should always be check out.  The location of the chest pain sounds more consistent with musculoskeletal pain, which could be associated with hyperventilation, but primary lung disease like asthma or cardiac condition needs to be ruled out.  Start with your family doctor who may referred to a specialist such as a pulmonologist.

Question 10

i have shortness of breath, trouble getting deep breath, tight, achy chest. doc visit said lungs were clear. i am on 3 inhalers and singular. i had covid 9 mths ago & got steroid pack to get help breathing. if lungs clear why do i have trouble?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
