Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 22-year-old person weighing 163 pounds. There is an inflammation on my my lungs and I am suffering from it since one year and the usual beginning of the symptoms begin at night and then pain starts and I face problem in inhalation.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

You have not mentioned the type of inflammation or what was your doctor's diagnosis. It can be either an early asthma, or spasm of rib-cage muscles or even due to heart problem. Consult your chest physician who will evaluate you. If he feels that you have a congenital heart problem, you will be referred to a cardiologist too.

I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.

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