Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have breathing problems during night time, sweating in the hands and bottom of my foot. Mainly I am facing severe snoring problem. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. If there is heavy snoring, the reason and level for the same have to be ascertained with a nasal endoscopy and fiberoptic laryngoscopy. Night sweats can be associated with a fluctuation of blood sugars or if the oxygen saturation is on the lower side. Please get your HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) done. Your weight for your height looks more or less within normal limits, and there is no need to cut down any weight. Another reason is inflammation in the upper airway, which could be due to acid reflux which is a very common entity that we usually come across and that requires proper management, which I have suggested below. If you happen to have dryness in the throat with a constant feeling of heaviness and irritation with episodes of feeling breathless on lying down, this entity has to be addressed specifically. I suggest following the below: 1. Maintain a strict diet, eat on time. 2. Avoid spicy, oily, cold. 3. Keep a gap of two hrs between meals and going to bed. 4. Do not overeat, rather keep your stomach half empty and have regular intermittent light food like fresh cut fruits in-between major meals. 5. Salt water gargling 8 to 10 times a day for 15 days. 6. Avoid alcohol and smoking as it can potentiate reflux. 7. Try to maintain a left lateral position while sleeping to reduce the chance of reflux. I suggest the following medications: 1. Tablet Pan-D (Pantoprazole) 40 mg once in the morning before breakfast for one month. 2. Syrup Mucaine gel (Oxetacaine, Aluminium hydroxide, and Milk of magnesia), one teaspoon three times a day 20 minutes before meals for one month. Make sure you follow the precautionary measures as much as possible, as mere medications will not yield long-term relief. Please understand that this typically takes four to six weeks for things to normalize and for symptoms to subside and chiefly depends on how much you have been able to follow the precautions mentioned above as 80 percent of the treatment lies there. There is absolutely nothing that you need to worry about as this is a treatable entity, and things will be fine. I hope I have answered your query in detail. If there is anything more you need to know or enquire, please do let us know, and we will get back as soon as possible.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
