Pulmonology

Excessive daytime sleepiness can be caused by conditions like sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and poor sleep habits. Managing it involves treating the underlying condition and improving sleep hygiene.

The number of sleep apnea events per hour helps determine how severe sleep apnea is, with more events indicating more severe conditions.

Sleep disordered breathing is when a person has trouble breathing while sleeping, like snoring or stopping breathing for a bit. It can be treated with lifestyle changes, devices to help with breathing, or sometimes surgery.

Cinnamon may help with respiratory issues due to its antibacterial properties, but specific dosages for this use are not well-defined.

A sleep apnea quiz often includes questions about snoring, daytime sleepiness, and observed breathing interruptions during sleep to assess risk.

Sleep disorder centers help diagnose and treat sleep problems by using tests and providing treatments like counseling and medication.

COPD can make walking hard by causing shortness of breath and muscle weakness, which change the way a person walks and leads to fatigue. These changes make everyday activities, like walking, more difficult.

Right side chest pain when breathing is often due to lung or chest wall problems, such as inflammation of the lung lining (pleurisy), lung probelms or musculoskeletal strain.

Right side chest pain may be caused by lung or pleural issues, musculoskeletal conditions, or gastrointestinal problems.

You can try methods such as cold application, cough suppressants or expectorants, over-the-counter pain medication, and treating any underlying conditions to ease chest pain caused by coughing.

A tight chest, dry cough, and shortness of breath can be caused by several respiratory conditions like asthma, viral infections, or even a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism), among other issues.

Left side chest pain when breathing can be caused by lung-related issues (like pleurisy), heart problems such as a heart attack, or chest wall (musculoskeletal) conditions.

Left-sided chest pain when breathing is often due to inflammation or irritation of lung linings (pleurisy) or muscles and cartilage around the chest wall (such as costochondritis).

Chest pain when you cough can happen due to muscle or rib strain (sometimes even tiny rib fractures), lung conditions like bronchitis, or irritation of the lining around your lungs.

Post-COVID-19 symptoms of "shortness of breath" can persist for weeks or months after recovery from the initial infection. These symptoms may vary in severity and can be caused by a range of factors, including lung damage, anxiety, and other respiratory issues.

After recovering from COVID-19, some individuals may experience a persistent cough and phlegm production, which can be part of a condition often referred to as "long COVID" or post-COVID syndrome. The symptoms can vary in severity and duration, and understanding them can help in managing the condition effectively.

Chest pain when breathing can be caused by a variety of conditions, ranging from musculoskeletal issues to serious respiratory or cardiovascular problems. Understanding the potential causes is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Pain around the ribs can have many different causes. The pain's location and characteristics often provide important clues about its underlying cause.

Pain around the rib cage on both sides can be caused by conditions affecting muscles, nerves, or nearby organs.

Intermittent chest tightness has many potential causes including cardiac, respiratory, digestive, musculoskeletal, and psychological conditions.
