Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Im 27 yr old...I last had a fever attack which lasted for 5 days with wheezing n loud coughing in august since then ive lost nearly 7 kilos and now suffering from breathlessness. My food quantity has come down im not able to eat my usual qty and with even the litle i eat i get very breathless after often getting headaches which goes off only with dispirin or paracetamol
Please get yourself tested for Tuberculosis. It is not a good sign to lose 7 kilos so soon. In addition, your appetite has decreased and you have shortness of breath. Please get a chest x-ray done as well.
You need to be treated accordingly. If it is not Tuberculosis, then it could be a lower respiratory tract infection as well.
I hope you recover quickly.
Regards,
