Underlying causes: If you have a history of allergies and asthma, please follow your recommended plan, This may include avoidance of dust, pollen and other allergens. Avoid smoke and pollutants. If the cough is related to an irritated throat, try a spoon of honey and tea. A cool air mist humidifier may also provide comfort. Watch for signs of chest pain, fever and shortness of breath, please follow up .

Therapy: Please consult a physician for anti-anxiety medication and seek both psychological counseling (CBT) and psychiatric evaluation. You will also need a thyroid profile.

31 y/o male 24 bmi 125/75 bp only risk factor is low hdl. havent worked out in years and began running, at .5 mile i get pain in left side of chest that hurts more when i take a deep breath. heart or lungs? stress test ok 1 yr ago. male pattern ekg?

Accepted Answer

: Don"t know what a "male pattern ECG is".If you are getting chest pain with exertion, although it is atypical as you describe it , I would get evaluated by your doctor regardless of your HDL. Likely that the pain is not related to your heart.

Question 4

i get pains in my lower chest on the left side when i wake up or haven't moved for prolonged periods of time. hurts to take deep breaths or stretch.

Accepted Answer

Tough to say for: Sure with this brief description.  It sounds like pain with muscular origin, but it could be pain from internal organs such as lung, diaphragm,  spleen, or stomach.  It could even be shingles.  The most serious problem is blood clot or infection in your lung, so have it checked out.

Question 5

i have extreme pain under my ribs (it hurts to breathe deep) i believe its gas because "air burps" help but i can't get rid of this excruitiating pain?

Accepted Answer

See M.D.: There may be involvement of the lining of the lung called the pleura or a collapse of your lung. If you are experiencing severe pain, i would suggest that you see an physician immediately.

Question 6

how do i get rid of the air in my chest? i try everything drinking lots of water that didn't work and i tried laying on my left side that didn't work

Accepted Answer

?: You suppose to have air in your chest!!!

Question 7

sharp pain in left side of chest just beneath breast? doctor said its muscle spasms? how do i get rid?

Accepted Answer

Muscle relaxant: Maximize dose of Ibuprofen and add a muscle relaxant and warm compress to area.

Question 8

really bad acid reflux and heartburn after flu and stomach flu. how do i get rid of this? my chest feels full of pressure and my stomach hurts.

Accepted Answer

Heartburn: I would try some over the counter medications such as Pepcid AC, and TUMS. If this does not work, then you may want to step up to Nexium.

Question 9

i have blood blisters or boils on my chest. they hurt especially when you touch it. i have dark spots from old ones. how do i get rid and prevent them?

Accepted Answer

Abscesses?: Abscesses, boils, small carbuncles, etc. or whatever they may be called are very tough to treat and are often caused by underlying bacterial skin infections that occur locally and can "come and go."  As you desribed, they may leave scars or marks where they were.  See a Dr. for an exam as sometimes daily antibiotic treatment for suppression may be helpful, etc.  Best wishes.

Question 10

how do i get rid of bad breath caused by stomach? i take multivitamins, you gut this probiotic daily & recently started l-glutamine and drink half my weight in water daily. my oral hygiene is impeccable, no gum disease or cavities or coated tongue?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Stop taking all the supplements you are ingesting as these may be the cause. If that does not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
