Suggest Treatment For Wheezing In An Overweight Person

I have a friend who constantly clears his throat when he speaks. It seems that there is some amount of wheezing going on when he speaks. He is only 5-10 pounds overweight and has a bloated abdomen. He has had a tremendous amount of perpetual stress in his life for many years. Multiple divorces in his family, a lot of arguing and hostility with siblings, etc. Many might come to the conclusion that the throat clearing is asthma-related, but I am concerned that it s stress and that it s becoming more of a heart problem. He has a family history of allergies, asthma, and heart disease. Is there a way to tell may be going on without going to the doctor?

Hi,

Apert from family history of allergy,asthma & heart disease, your friend is also overweight...which needs to be controlled.

On the top of that constant struggle/quarrels in family raise his psychological stress...which adds to over eating,bloating causing increase in asthmatic symptoms.

All of this vicious circle has to be broken by adopting a healthy lifestyle&strong determined positive mind.

He may need a psychological councelling for this apart from expert advise for managing breathlessness with help of an expert chest physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
