Please help, embarrassing???

Question

Well the first problem that is not embarrasing is that i have like a cough with phelgm and wheezing what is that?

the second problem not to sound gross is that i have been having a ton of flatulence that smells really bad i am on lexapro and thats it. what could both of my problems be?

Answer 1

lexapro like many other medications will cause unpleasant side effects.

My ex DH was on lexapro for a time with not so nice side effects.

Just keep an eye on the coughing and phlegm part. If it begins to turn green or your chest begins to hurt go to your doctor. That is a sign of infection. It could also be allergies. Just be observant about it.

Answer 2

Not sure about the first bit. As for the farting bit, you might be lactose intolerant. Only way to test this is to avoid milk for a day or two, and see if it helps.

Answer 3

sounds like you have a nasty cold. go to the doctor and ask him

Answer 4

Being a smoker or being around smokers can contribute to your breathing problems. Also your allergies if you have any.

Smoking also tends to have an affect on certain meds, this could be the problem with your flatulence. But you would also have to consider your diet and how consistent it is and how much stress you may be under could contribute to both of your problems.

Answer 5

Is the cough associated with phlegm? If it is it may be asthma. Talking to a doctor would be best. But also drink LOTS of water. Humanity started off with it and never got sick. The more you drink water, your r****m won't smell bad. If you don't know how much water, drink AT LEAST 8 cups of water a day. Its simple drink 1 glass of water every hour or two.

Answer 6

You have a bad cough, and you need cough medicine. Uggh... glad its you who has to take it and not me. Blech!

Sorry, i cant help with the second problem.  

Answer 7

Well the coughing and wheezing could be asthma,broncitis or allergies.  Those are symptoms that should be told to the doctor.  As for the flatulence problem check your diet.  Perhaps your eating alot of gassy foods.  GOod luck.

Answer 8

You need a physician's diagnosis.  Your productive cough could be many things - asthma, allergies, an upper respiratory infection.  And, yes, meds can give you gas.
