Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Breathing, Vomiting And Night Sweats
I have a 23 yr old son who is 6ft.6in tall and weights 275. He played college football for 5 years and just recently graduated. Last year during late summer, he was having difficulty breathing and started with terrible night sweats where he would totally saturate the bed and it was very foul smelling. The Football team doctor ordered a chest X.ray and other tests and then referred him to a Pulmonologist. He was then diagnosed with Cocidiodomycosis following a lung biopsy. He was treated with medication for approx. 4 months and a follow up CT Scan and he was feeling better so the doctor didn t feel he needed the medication any more. The night sweats started back again a few months ago and he went back to see the Pulmonologist, but he was told it was not related to his previous fungal lung infection because more tests came back normal. However, the Pulmonologist did make a notation that he recommended he see an Endochronologist which I was not aware of the notation until just recently. My son is still having night sweats about 2-3/wk and he also has spells of vomiting a couple times a week. Last night he woke up from a deep sleep and said he couldn t breath and then had projectile vomiting for what seemed about 10 minutes. He feels back to his normal self when he is done vomiting. He didn t know what had just happened and didn t remember voimiting all over the bed until he actually saw it. We are so puzzled by all of this. He just moved to Nashville and we are looking at getting him into a physician there to do a thorough work up. My son was also diagnosed with several allergies and acid reflux about 6 years ago. His symptoms were mild and controlled with medication, all of which he quit taking after about a year because he felt better.
