[|Human|] Hello, I dont know what is wrong.   On Sept 11, 2014 I went to a clinic for what they said was just a cold. But they said something about high blood pressure and prescribed lisinopril. I had a follow up the next week and they said asthma. The Saturday after Christmas I went to another clinic they said pneumonia and prescribed a z-pak. I took it all and the cough seamed to be gone for 1 week then it was back.  I went back to the clinic and the prescribed a stronger antibiotic. I finished the 7 day and a week later my cough is not gone.  My insurance changed and my co-pay is too much.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. 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 antihypertensive Chat Doctor. 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 Chat Doctor. Wish you a quick recovery and the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
