Asthma warning - why you should never ignore this sound when your breathe - Express Asthma warning - why you should never ignore this sound when your breathe - Express Posted: 19 Sep 2018 12:00 AM PDT Asthma is a common lung condition that affects people of all ages, according to the NHS . It often starts in childhood, although it can also develop in adults for the first time. The condition causes the airways to become sensitive and inflamed. This can make then become narrows and clogged with mucus when exposed to certain triggers. Common symptoms of asthma include feeling tight-chested and coughing. But, you should also never ignore a whistling sound when you breathe. Hearing a whistling sound when breathing could be one of the earliest signs of asthma , warned the NHS. The noise could signal wheezing, which is linked to a difficulty breathing. Wheezing may occur when both exhaling and inhaling, added the Mayo Clinic. Any i

Seasonal sickness: Cold, flu or bronchitis? - KRIS Corpus Christi News Seasonal sickness: Cold, flu or bronchitis? - KRIS Corpus Christi News Posted: 12 Nov 2018 12:00 AM PST [embedded content] Whether or not you can believe it, cold and flu season already are in full swing – even though cold season typically peaks in January, while flu season is not until February. Bronchitis is an infection that becomes more widespread in colder weather and often develops from a cold, sore throat or the flu. If you're suffering with a severe cough, don't automatically write it off as flu or a winter cold. It could be bronchitis. "Bronchitis is a condition where you have inflammation of the lining of your breathing tubes that carry air to and from the lungs," said Corpus Christi Medical Center pulmonary disease specialist Dr. Chinthaka P. Bulathsinghala. The symptoms of bronchitis may be similar to the flu. "Cough is ver

Meningitis: When that blinding headache is a sign of deadly adult meningitis - Daily Mail Meningitis: When that blinding headache is a sign of deadly adult meningitis - Daily Mail Posted: 10 Nov 2014 12:00 AM PST 'It's just not a disease I associated with adults,' said Sharon Fallon of pneumococcal meningitis Sitting at her desk, financial administrator Sharon Fallon closed her eyes and rubbed her temples to ease her increasingly severe headache. It had started out of the blue earlier that morning and, despite her taking painkillers, continued to throb with growing intensity as the day went on.  By the time she was due to go home, it was almost unbearable. 'I felt like my head was going to explode,' recalls Sharon, 36, who lives in Ballygowan, County Down, with her husband Stephen, 46, a taxi driver, and sons Aaron, seven, and Jack, five. 'I wanted to curl up into a ball with my eyes tight shut t

Nanoparticles wiggling through mucus may predict severe COPD - EurekAlert Nanoparticles wiggling through mucus may predict severe COPD - EurekAlert Posted: 30 Sep 2019 06:01 AM PDT In a proof-of-concept experiment, researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have successfully used microscopic man-made particles to predict the severity of patients' chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by measuring how quickly the particles move through mucus samples. The technique, say the researchers, could eventually help doctors deliver more effective treatments sooner. "If further studies verify our findings, nanoparticles could establish early which patients with COPD are more likely to need more intensive interventions to avoid adverse outcomes," says Enid Neptune, M.D. , associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who partnered with Justin Hanes, Ph.D. , and Jung Soo Suk, Ph.D. , fro

NYPD cop recounts helping chemo patient through UN traffic - New York Post NYPD cop recounts helping chemo patient through UN traffic - New York Post Posted: 29 Sep 2019 05:59 PM PDT Sometimes you gotta break the rules to do the right thing. An NYPD cop told The Post about the moment he helped an ill young woman make a prohibited right turn so she could pierce Manhattan gridlock and make it to her chemo appointment on time. Officer Hamlet De Leon was monitoring 57th Street and 6th Avenue on Thursday — heavily congested thanks to the United Nations General Assembly — when Gabriela DeMassi, 28, and her mother got out of their car and asked the cop if there was a quicker route to Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital. At the rate the traffic was going, DeMassi –– who was undergoing her third round of treatments for lung cancer –– was doomed to miss her appointment. "If I say bad, that's an understatement. Traffic was horrific. To ge

Allergies can still linger into fall, here’s why - WWLP.com Allergies can still linger into fall, here’s why - WWLP.com Posted: 09 Sep 2019 12:00 AM PDT SPRINGFIELD, Mass (WWLP) — We can sniffle and sneeze, even as temperatures start cooling down and sometimes the allergens can be intense enough to cause something called allergic bronchitis. Allergic bronchitis is chronic and is marked by long-term coughing producing a clear or white mucus, wheezing, feeling tired, and feeling pressure in your chest. Just because we're diving into fall, doesn't mean your allergic bronchitis will go away. There are many allergens that can still cause symptoms, dust and mold included. "Well in the fall you definitely see ragweed outside, and some trees will do that, and an interesting one is leaf mold. So leaf mold, when the trees lose their leaves, and the leaves lay there, and it rains, mold grows on them, and it gets airborne," Louise Ca
