Suggest Treatment For Wheezing And Tiredness Due To Stress

Posted on Mon, 3 Nov 2014

Question: I am wheezing and quite tired. I am 65 and very stressed with quarreling with my 2 younger brothers and my 87 year old mother against me and my sister with special needs. So much is happening that I can only act calm. I tell you this because I think that all the quarreling in this family might be adding to my health problems. I have congestive heart failure with a pacemaker and defibrillator. Sometimes I have water (sweat) coming out of my pores all over and sometimes just my head and neck.

Wheeze

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It's quite sad that you are going through a lot of family problems. Increased mental stress can not only aggrevate congestive cardiac failure but also wheeze.
Here is what you should do

1. Try and stay calm as much as possible. Try to just listen and not talk back to them
2.For the wheeze I suggest Tab Montelukast one in the morning and one at night
3. Watch out for breathlessness, breathlessness and swelling of feet are signs of heart failure and not wheeze
4. Continue to take your medications, please do not stop them

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
