Hello Dear Dr. Kadwa,

First of all I feel sorry, because I did not take your prescribed medicine. Since I was not feeling good during that time and I went to Pulmologist (Dr. Vijai Kumar, Indira Park, Hyderabad), he prescribed me Omnacortil-40, Unicortin-400 and Allegra-120. I'm continuing this medicine to some extent I'm feeling better now. However Im not 100% fit as before I used to, and also whenever Im busy in work I dont have this problem and again if I sit idle then I have this problem anyhow the intensity, I can say is 50% less than what I had earlier. Now Im not having that much chest pain also.

Please could you provide any good medicines which will me quick relief and not to get this problem again in future.

Thanks & Regards,
Dhanraj

Hello Dear Dr. Kadwa,

I took Dulcamara 30c as prescrbed, and I felt somewhat OK, then when I started to take Natrum Sulph 6x for the first dose I felt good, and when I took second dose I felt some problem in breathing like my nose is blocked, I had to breath hard. I took the above two doses as prescribed.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Dhanraj

Dear Dr. Kadwa,

Actually I took this dose at 1430 IST today and now Im not feeling that much problem now.

No, this is not happened for the first time.

The fequency of this problem occurs few times (say 5 to 6 times) in a day.

Is this because of any side effects of Natrum Sulph 6x.

Please help.

Thanks,
Dhanraj
