Hi i m suffering from jaundice HEV since 1 month and now the bilirubin is 2.5 and also quit smoking since the day jaundice started. Now at any instant I have breathing problem and no cough and n all, chest pain sometimes and when I m alone negative thoughts comes in mind something will happen. Doctor has checked me told ur heart and chest are fine and I have not done any x- ray. Why this negative thoughts comes in mind? This is only when i m alone.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist first and get done chest x-ray and pulmonary function test (PFT) to rule out COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). As you are smoker and having breathing issues, likelihood of COPD is more. Untreated COPD also gives psychological symptoms like depression. So your negative symptoms might be due to COPD. Since you are recently recovered from illness, this may also give psychiatric symptoms. So better to discuss all these with your psychiatrist.
