Question 1

i have a mold allergy can aloe gel in the nose help me with my breathing (lung) problem?  what else can i use for help?

Accepted Answer

See allergist: Aloe gel would not do you any good.  The most important step is avoidance of exposure (get out of the damaged structure and do not return until the mold and water problems have been fixed). In the meanwhile , consult an allergist to assess your problems and provide the necessary treatment.  Don't delay a day longer.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Who is HE?: Only knowing a history of chemical exposure, these symptoms can certainly be caused by prolonged exposure to some chemicals-depending on what they are.  Have HIM checked out by a Dr for an evaluation. Good luck to him.

Accepted Answer

: See a GP and specialist for an evaluation (CXR, spirometry, allergy tests, home assessment). Nasal and lung treatments can help allergies&amp;asthma. Most people recover fully. Very few have autoimmune or nerve health issues https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32088666/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19854819/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31608429/ I hope you feel better soon

Flu like sym: Go to urgent  care where they can  test for flu  or   health tap prime and get treatment for  flu - Tamiflu  and possibly antibiotics. F/u/ today as flu can progress very rapidly.

Question 6

high mold exposure when cleaning.  allergic to mold. 1 wk increasing sinus/chest congestion, itching nose/eyes/throat.  antihistamine?  fluticasone?

Accepted Answer

You need help!: Sounds like a delayed immune response to the mold exposure. History of asthma? You may benefit from inhaled medications to decrease the congestion/cough, such as Advair or otherwise. For the upper airways symptoms, Zyrtec and Flonase could help, though Flonase will take a couple of days to kick in. Nasal saline rinses could offer a quick fix too.

Accepted Answer

CT scan's effects...: Having 7 ct scans, of just parts of the body each time, spread over a period of more than ten years, should have no noticeable effect on one's health. However, the symptoms that lead to a person needing ct scans may reflect some diseases that do affect health.

Question 8

can stress cause headaches in back of head and make my lungs feel full?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Anxiety can cause a myriad of symptoms from the headache you describe, to stomach pain, chest pain, flushing, and so on.  However, to be sure this is what is occurring you should visit with your primary care physician and have an exam to be sure.

Question 9

is there any way to avoid seasonal allergies? almost every year cedar seems to congest my head and lungs?

Accepted Answer

Allergies : While it might be nice to think about moving to the tropics during tree season, this is not really practical for most of us. Consider seeing an allergist to discuss immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots. They can be highly effective.  If you want to take medication, be sure to start before you are exposed to the allergen. Nasal steroids and antihistamines work best before the reaction begins
