Possibly: There are many things in the air that can irritate or cause allergy in the lungs. There could be cleaning products at the workplace or there may be food items that you react to. If your breathing is consistently better when you are away from work then it's more likely to be an exposure at work. Try asking your company's safety officer to look into what may be the cause.

Accepted Answer

: She needs to be seen by a doctor to determine why she is breathing fast and what the cough is from. If she is suspected of having allergies, she may need allergy testing in order to determine what she is allergic to so that you will know what to avoid. If there is a different etiology, then the diagnosis will determine the treatment. So, have her seen by a doctor for evaluation. Good luck!

Question 9

experiencing ammonia smell w/ vinegar food products. only while breathing out. just got over a bad cold. this is my only symptom.

Accepted Answer

Dysosmia: An upper respiratory infection can cause temporary changes in smell or abnormal  smells. If there are other nasal symptoms like discharge, sinus congestion and pressure, there may be an infection going on that needs treatment. If this is a short-term problem, you may not need to do anything and give it a little more time to improve. If you are very concerned, see an ENT.

Unlikely: Your symptoms are atypical for heart disease and are more likely to be associated with your esophagus and gastrointestinal tract. Ask your health care provider for a thorough history and examination to pin point the diagnosis and treatment.
