1: Describe your appearance & age.
I am 22 yrs old,male ,5'8',50kg thin black hair,black eyes,brown skin.
2. What are the symptoms of your health problem.
Issues:
-With over a period of three yrs I have cough and cold with phlegm.
- Then i would get sick very often sometimes lasting for over a week after taking allopathy medicines. The doctor termed it as a flu.
The sickness would only subside but would not vanish.
The coughing would increase at night and i started feeling cold even during the day.At one night my coughing increased so much that it caused severe breathlessness to which i had to call doctor.This was like 2 years ago.

Then I started taking actual treatment from another allopathist who asked to conduct test. It was seen that I had chronic bronchitis. He gave me a inhaler named 'foracort',which only helped my breathlessness problem while my cough and cold continued, and 'furamist', both of cipla company.

When this did not work, I turn towards homeopathy treatment. A year ago I consulted a homeopath who told me take belladona 30 4globules twice a day. It lowered my cough slightly but over a period of time the cough would rise again. My nose would remain to be blocked(partially). For about 6 months, when this did not work I changed my doctor and took to another homeopath, who started giving me what he said 'immunity medicines' and a few other homeopathic medicines like kof-aid,homeo-vit and adel-23.
It showed results. I started to feel better. My coughing come down, not zero, nose problem was the same,blockage or sometimes flowing. I started feeling energetic and work better. But the problems would not go as sometimes I have to undergo that same coughing at night, suffocation, nose blocked mildly, excessive coughing when climate changes, easily falling sick when wet during monsoon.

With this my voice changed. It became soft with all the cough in my throat and to clear it to speak almost all the time.

I had started having mild headaches.

My lungs would hurt with excessive coughing. The mucous could come instantly even after clearing it.Same with the nose blockage.

My body became weak. I could not work out or run longer.

three yrs ago my weight was 55kg which decreased to 50 no matter how much i ate. But i would not over-eat myself.

Over the period my brain would not work so well as it used. I would not remember very few things easily.


-I had a problems with weight gain,with over 6 years but no amount of weight gain supplements,mostly powdered like of venkys, had any effect. I also followed a regular diet and started eating more. I am till date taking these protein and weight gain supplements.

4: What makes the problem better or worse
-Gargling with hot-salt water would help my throat for a 6-7 hours. My nose still had loose mucous after taking a steam.
Breathing exercises would clear the nose but after a minute or two the infection would come back.

Taking cold and eating oily foods/drinks aggravated the situation. Also seasonal and sudden change in climate would cause problems.

5: How do you feel emotionally.
-I feel tensed, nervous,no sucidal thoughts.

6:Describe your personality.
- I am slightly sensitive,introvert,anxious,need time and personal space. I get along with people. I am lethargic and require motivation to do work.

7:What occupies your mind mostly.
-I sometimes think about improving my health.

8:How do you respond to consolation :
I take them in the positive way.

9. Do you want to stay alone or with people.

I like having people around.

10. How is your sleep
-I have no problems with sleeping,sometimes I wake too early
I've had issues of sleep disturbance because of coughing and suffocation that causes me to awake for about 1hour when I would try allopathy medicines and inhaler to sooth things.

11. Do you have any recurring dreams (I always dreams of big black snakes very regularly….)
-nothing about recurring dreams.

12. What type of weather do you like and how it affects your complaints
-I don't like winter, it aggravates my illness, autumn is the most likeable time. Anything about 30c is fine. I need fresh air. Dust and smoke makes me feel worse. Not too chilly.

13. Do you fight or flight
- I am more 'flight' than 'fight'; I avoid conflict when I can.

14. What are your fears
- no fears as such.

15. Do you normally feel hot or cold
- I'm normally chilly, I prefer it to being warm. I have to wear a sweater after noontime.

16. What types of clothes you wear
- I wear comfortable clothing. Nothing too tight around my abdomen or my neck.

17. What foods & taste you love & hate
- I dislike dry foods. I like fried, buttery foods and eggs. I like warm food. I avoid cold foods like ice-cream. I I have a craving for sweets. I like milk products,green vegetables, and hot soup.

18. Do you want to eat indigestible foods e.g. Chalk
- no

19. How is your thirst
- I'm feel thirsty after 45-60min. I like lukewarm or hot drinks. I take 10-12, or more, full glasses a day

20. Any coating on tongue (some white coating on edges only…)
- yes, white, on both sides of my tongue, front and back.

21. Any skin problems
- Not really; my hands get dry in winter and my skin breaks out sometimes.

22. Any problems with respiration
- I'm often feel congested due to all the mucous inside.

23. Any problems with stool/urine (I have severe constipation and the stool is always like balls…)
- Sometimes blood comes out. This happens even when I'm not having any outside food. This is happening regularly for the past 2 weeks.

24. Any sexual problems
- no sex.

It pains near the throat when coughing and mucous appears more than often.

P.S:Will this lead to cancer?

How do you feel mentally when this problem is there. Explain in your own words (e.g. restless, irritable, weepy etc.)
How is your thirst
Is your mouth/lips dry
Do you feel cold or hot

How do you feel mentally when this problem is there. Explain in your own words (e.g. restless, irritable, weepy etc.)
-It affects my work alot as the irritation,mucous, and constant coughing makes it difficult to concentrate when doing work. My voice has gone soft. Changes in climate and cold temperatures increases the blockage in nose. Coughing has caused headaches. My energy level has gone down due to which enthusiasm in doing things has reduced. As of now my nose is flowing slightly and the cough has filled my throat.

How is your thirst
-I feel thirsty most of the time. Mouth is dry most of the times.

Is your mouth/lips dry
-my mouth is dry almost all the time. I make sure i always drink boiled and warm water.

Do you feel cold or hot
-I feel cold. Wearing warming clothes make me feel good and warm even during the day.

What are the symptoms of your nose, throat, chest etc.
-My nose is always,literally, filled with mucous whether flowing or jammed. Throat also has mucous content, white colour, and sometimes causes suffocation during breathing. Breathing through mouth is the most. I experience no pain near chestal area only at times when coughing too much, very excessive almost uncontrollable.

What is the color of nose & cough discharge
-White.

What allopathic & homeopathic medicines have you take so far (date, quantity, potency)
-Allopathic: I have taken aleraid-d, for cold, alkof for cough, furacort for suffocation and cough.
-homeopathy: alfa tonic, alfa-kof,adel 23 and 'immunity' meds prescribed by doctor.

I am get a slight headache in the morning after waking up which passes away in a few minutes.
I always fear after a cough that I may not be able to control it that it may increase beyond control.
Emotionally I am feeling very good, sometimes nervous.
 
paresh.b last decade
When I ask mentally & emotionally it means I am asking if you feel irritable, weepy, sad, angry etc. etc. Use your own words and tell.

Are you afraid of any animals/insects etc.

Are you afraid of heights, closed spaces, water etc.

Yes/No/Normal answers are not helping me.
