Hello doctor, I am experiencing this for the past four months. I have installed an AC at home and started wheezing in the middle of the night, chest tightness, etc. It is still there with wheezing at random times especially while sleeping with or without AC. A cough sometimes with minimal phlegm. The doctor gave me a cough and cold medicine for tonsils but did not work. I am afraid to sleep in the AC now. Please help. Symptoms include wheezing while lying down, clearing throat, coughing but the doctor said no presence phlegm in the lungs. Is it something serious like cancer or edema?
Hello. The symptoms you are experiencing can occur in a myriad of conditions. But we have to exclude two systems respiratory and cardiac. Is your breathlessness precipitated or worsened by exposure to cold or any dust, any foodstuff or during emotional stress? Does it worsen on walking or climbing upstairs? Do you have to sit up and go to a window during the night and open windows? Is there any sputum production and chest pain or any palpitations? Did you have any fever? Have you done an ECG and a chest X-ray?
