Helllo,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to know more about you as follows: a. Your age & sex b. Did you have breathing difficulty for the first time or did you have such episodes in past? c. Do you have any known allergies, nose symptoms, etc? d. What were all the symptoms during this episode? - nose congestion,
fever, running nose,
sneezing,
cough,
wheezing (whistling sounds from chest), breathing difficulty, etc? e. Do you have any digestive complaints? f. Do you have any other medical conditions? g. Do you have to take any medicines on regular/frequent basis? h. What was the blood pressure when it was measured? What was your previous blood pressure?
Above details would help me to know more about you and therefore to make more specific suggestions to you.
2. At present, from your given history, it is not possible to decide whether it was an asthmatic episode or
pneumonia, why you required anti-hypertensive drug, etc.
3. For patients with first time detected
high blood pressure without evident reason, I usually ask them to get the blood pressure measured repeated at least twice in order to confirm that he/she is really hypertensive.
4. To decide about asthma or pneumonia, more details are required as asked above.
5. It is possible to have cough lasting for a few weeks after recovery from an infection, even after resolution of other symptoms such as fever, breathing difficulty, etc. For such cough, I usually suggest my patients regular warm saline gargles and avoidance of exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you a quick recovery and the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards.
