Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been experiencing breathing problem for the past one week. Whenever I am trying to take long breathe, I am not able to push air completely inside through nose or mouth. After consecutive try, full breathe happens. There is no sign of a cough or pneumonia. Also, I do not have a cold. Is it due to stress or anything wrong with my heart or lungs? Does it require any health checkup or consultation with doctor? A few days back, I ate jamun. Does it have any relation with this breathing problem? Earlier, I was obese and I have reduced 22 to 26 lbs weight now. I faced some breathing problem earlier. After reducing weight, I was absolutely fine. What could be the reason for my breathlessness?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  1. No, it is not related to eating Jamun. It is also not due to stress.
  2. It could be due to lung pathology or sinus involvement. Secretions from the sinus may be blocking airflow or it could be directly due to lung involvement.
  3. It can also happen if there is hyperplasia or growth of adenoids in the oral cavity. Please get your oral cavity examined by an ENT specialist (ear, nose, and throat).
  4. You may need to carry out a chest X-ray. Further treatment will depend on the cause.

Thank you doctor,

Kindly advice what are the tests I have to undergo for this health issue.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  1. First, meet an ENT specialist and have your oral cavity and nose examined.
  2. You may need to carry out a face X-ray for sinus involvement and a chest X-ray for the lung. You may also need to carry out a pulmonary function test to check the status of your lungs.
