I always had a betel nut in my mouth. It had become more of a habit, helping me stay awake and relaxed amidst day-to-day chaos.
But then, one day, chaos began. A chaos in which no nut could keep me calm. The chaos began inside my body. I began to struggle with daily activities, coughed frequently with white mucus, and had difficulty breathing.
Over the course of seven months, I visited several hospitals, consulted numerous doctors, and received treatment for asthma and gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, there were no signs of improvement.
My family insisted on a more advanced evaluation, so we visited Zydus Hospitals. At Zydus Hospitals, I was immediately taken for a High-Resolution CT scan of my chest. The scan revealed signs of bronchitis-bronchiolitis, which suggested tuberculosis. However, still unsure about the underlying cause of my mysterious respiratory distress, the doctors referred me to a team of specialists. I was referred to Dr Manoj Singh, a Pulmonologist & Critical care specialist.
Upon closer inspection, the specialist discovered a mysterious lesion obstructing airflow in my right main bronchus (the passageway connecting the windpipe and the lungs). It turned out to be a betel nut that I had accidentally aspirated a year earlier, causing chronic respiratory distress and inflammation.
Without further delay, the team of specialists at Zydus Hospitals carefully and precisely removed the betel nut from my bronchus. After being discharged from the hospital, I was prescribed bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory medication, which significantly reduced my respiratory distress and resolved the inflammation in my lungs.
This unusual case serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough evaluation and careful management of patients with mysterious and persistent medical issues. It also highlights the expertise and skill of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Team at Zydus Hospital.
