Question 1

i have vision loss every time i cough or blow my nose. is this a sign of something serious?

Accepted Answer

Could be: When you cough or blow your nose the pressure increases in the blood vessels.  If you have an aneurysm or other blood vessel abnormality or even increased intracranial pressure this could be evident with tranisent vision loss.  It is important to be checked out by an ophthalmologist soon.

Question 2

what causes vision loss every time he coughs or blows his nose?

Accepted Answer

Not sure...: Sounds like the valsalva is causing drop in blood pressure to the brain.

Question 3

i have a cough that feels like it is coming from my chest. i usually have to blow my nose every morning so my assumption is that the cough is due to what seems to be allergies. i have no other symptoms of covid, but should i get tested?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms:  temp of at least 99.6 F (37.5 C), Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.

Question 4

it's been a couple of days since blurriness in one of my eyes. how long will it take to heal? i have severe cough and cold, and blow my nose a lot.

Accepted Answer

Viral syndrome: Your description is most consistent with a viral syndrome.  The blurry vision may be due to eye surface irritation from conjunctivitis but it also can be related to inflammation in the cornea (keratitis) or rarely iritis.  Since the blurriness seems to be persistent, i would go see an eye doctor.

Question 5

i cough up clear bubbly phlem/mucus. the same when i blow my nose every 5 minutes. im pregnant so its gotten worse.

Accepted Answer

Rhinitis: You have a post nasal drip which is making you cough. Use saline nose drops to help your drip. Also breath in steam from hot showers to give you relief from your nasal congestion. Use a vaporizer and sleep on several pillows.

Question 6

i had a fever, blocked nose and sore throat a week ago, i'm fine now except  i have to blow my nose all the time and yellow thick phlegm in my cough.

Accepted Answer

Normal: The last two symptoms to clear after a viral illness are drainage and cough.  It may take 2-3 weeks for these to completely clear.  If these symptoms persist for a total of 4 weeks then may be low grade sinusitis and need antibiotics to clear.

Question 7

what could cause pain in my kidneys when i cough or blow my nose?

Accepted Answer

Back pain: It is unlikely related to your kidneys and more likely due to  low back muscle strain which becomes aggravated with the trauma of cough or blowing of nose.

Question 8

what to do if i have pain in my kidneys when i cough or blow my nose?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Not the kidneys. Pain is most likely from back and paraspinous muscle splinting or spasm.  drink a lot of clear fluids, take antitussives, hot baths/showers, whirlpool.

Question 9

i have aches, congestion, coughing, trouble breathing and when i cough or blow my nose there is blood. should i be concerned? what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Yes, see your doctor: you need evaluation and treatment, the congestion may be causing the bloody phlegm and discharge, you may need prescription medicines. Meanwhile, use saline nasal wahes, salt water gargles, fluids, rest and pain killers, good luck

Question 10

constant crackling in my ear when i cough or blow my nose. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Eustachian tube : The eustachian tube is a small tube-like canal which connects the inner part of the ear called middle ear to the back of the nose and upper throat. Its function is to equalize the air pressure within the middle ear and the pressure outside it.
You likely have swelling in the eustachian tube.  Try taking sudafed or a similar decongestant.
