What Causes Shortness Of Breath With Coughing After Kidney Stone Surgeries?

I have shortness of breath, coughing that gets to the point where I throw up. I have lack of concentration. I did have two surgeries last week to remove kidney stones. I went to the walk in this morning and they gave me prednisone. It isn t any better, I feel like I can breath sometimes.

Hi thanks for asking question.

You have to rule out bronchitis and asthma condition first...It could be allergic...CBC done for eosinophilia or neutrophilia .Neutrophilia present then Antibiotic needed.X ray useful...

If fever present then x tay done for rule out secondary bacterial infection after surgery like Pneumonia.If present antibiotic needed.

Avoid smoking...

To distinguish lung restrictive and obstructive disease spirometry pulmonary function test useful...

If respiratory cause not present do ECG or echo to rule out cardiac causes.

Take care....
