Respiratory Diseases

We are travelling to Iran to visit family this summer in July but there has been no sign of 15 year olds being able to be given the COVID vaccine. I mean my daughter's birthday is literally in October. What difference does a few months make? When I got my COVID vaccine they didn't even check ID. Can I just sign my daughter up and see if they let her get the Pfizer shot?

The vaccines do not make people more asymptomatic. The vaccine does stop disease progression to the severe illness level.  If you are infected, you can transmit the illness to others. If you aren't, you can't. There is a lot of issues with the vaccine: - the effectiveness in testing doesn't match real life - we still have no idea how long the immunity lasts for people who it provides protections.  The information is still all over the board from 60 days on one study in the New England Journal of Medicine to so long that we don't know how long because the people who got it in July still have antibodies in the therapeutic levels. We know that masks have never been much of a benefit: - 70% of covid transmission occurs within your own home, where you don't social distance or wear a mask - According to the FDA, masks that most people wear are ineffective, filtering less than 30% of covid viral particles.  Actually cases are up more about 40% in NY State in the last week March 19 approx 6200 March 26 approx 8700 We need to "start" pushing vitamin D3.  (we should have done this in March 2020, when there became the suspicion that it reduced infection rates and illness rates. - We still don't know the exactly benefit, but the way the we ignore it simply because it doesn't invite big pharma to the party is stupid. - If it works, it's GREAT.  If it doesn't work... then it goes along with the rest that doesn't work (stay at home orders, mask mandates, etc).

Impossible. You can't get a cold or the flu that way either.

I was helping a friend clean out cupboards and found a bag of very moldy apples, I tossed them but a puff of mold dust scattered, I'm kinda freaking out now about what harm that could cause me.

No, and higher altitude doesn’t make lungs stronger. It does increase red cells which carry oxygen bound to hemoglobin, you lungs do gas exchange the same as at low altitudes.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of night unable to breathe. I have to sit up as I gasp for air :/ This has been happening more often and now I notice I feel the same shortness of breath in waking hours. I will just be sitting there and suddenly feel the need to take a deep breath. It doesnt feel like its enough so I have to keep taking several deep breaths to feel better. Anyone else feel this?

My mom wouldn't be covid vaccinated.

If you did not already have COVID, you're unlikely to get more than a slightly sore arm from the vaccine. It's perfectly safe to work out. I assume you'd stop if you suddenly felt unwell during a workout, regardless of the cause. If you did have COVID, you're likely to feel like you have it again starting anytime from five or six hours after the shot to the next day. It apparently lasts two or three days at the most. You wouldn't exercise if you feel like that. (And if you're getting a two-dose vaccine, the second dose is likely to make you feel sick. Be prepared for that.)

My dad recently went to the hospital because no oxygen was going to his leg and it was rotting. After he came out he can barely breathe now. We have gone to the hospital about 5 times for that fact and they send him back home saying he's okay, we've spend more than $1,000 just on visits. When I ask the doctors why he has a lack of oxygen, they say they don't and do nothing to help. Apperently the hospital is no help, what else can it be done? We've took him to the hospital way before he's conditions got worse and they had said he was fine until I saw it and took him the hospital which turns out he wasn't fine. Seems the doctors are making things worse. 

A neurologist that specializes in the ANS would be best.  My ANS problems whilst in the hospital flummoxed at least 7 hospital neurologists and finally one outside the hospital was asked and he started me on pyridostigmine, which leveled my ANS dysfunction.  It sucks, doesn't it? I went a few times where I forgot to beat my heart.

im infected, mild symptoms such as light headache, dry coughs. is it okay to light one up and smoke a little? 

Congestive heart failure is a serious condition in which the quantity of blood pumped by the heart each minute is insufficient to meet the body's normal requirements for oxygen and nutrients. Any disease that affects the heart and interferes with the circulation can lead to heart failure. The paralysis may be from lack proper blood flow threw the body this could have something to do with a persons heart. The hearts primary functions are to supply oxygen to the body and to rid the body of waste products(carbon dioxide). The symptoms of heart disease include certain types of pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, light headedness, and fainting. Any of these can cause death or paralysis....................................... Stroke Trauma Polio Blood flow Amyotropic lateral sclerosis MS Guillian-Barr syndrome

I know the internet isn’t the best place for medical advice, but oh well lol. For the past week I’ve had upper radiating back pain (below and in the middle of the shoulder blades). It happened randomly last Sunday, which also gave me shortness of breath since it was harder to breathe in. That part seems better, but it still feels like my lungs don’t want to expand all the way to breathe in naturally.  I do work 10 hour days sitting, hunched over a table...and when I’m not I could be lifting heavy things out of boxes all day. Not sure if my posture has finally caught up with me?? I’m a 24 year old female and 120 pounds. Bad anxiety and stress (these 2 were very bad that week leading up to this). Went to urgent care since it felt like I couldn’t expand my lungs and get good air...but she said I sounded good and sent me home. It still feels like dyspnea, but the upper burning/achy back pain is outshining that lol.  Any idea what this could be???? Just don’t want them to tell me it’s anxiety or a pulled muscle and pay hundreds of dollars for nothing :(
