Doctors' responses

Hi! I’m an assistant to the Ask Ayurveda doctors. I’ve carefully reviewed your question.

I will explain your symptoms through the Ayurvedic perspective so you understand what is happening in your body as a whole.

In Ayurveda, the symptoms you’re experiencing can be seen as a disturbance in the balance of the doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata. The presence of fluid in the heart and lungs suggests an accumulation of Kapha, which is characterized by heaviness and congestion. This can lead to reduced capacity and efficiency of these organs, affecting oxygen levels.

Vata imbalance may also contribute to irregularities in oxygen distribution and respiratory function. This can manifest as variability in oxygen levels and the need for external support.

The whole-body connection in Ayurveda suggests that these symptoms are not isolated; they reflect a systemic imbalance. Factors like digestion, stress, and lifestyle can influence your dosha balance and overall health.

To give doctors a precise and effective treatment plan, your answers to the questions below are essential. Without this information, the recommendations will be more general and less accurate.

Please answer each question as clearly as possible.

1. How long have you been experiencing low oxygen levels? (Please select one: Less than 1 week, 1-4 weeks, 1-6 months, More than 6 months) 2. Have you noticed any specific triggers for your symptoms, such as physical activity, stress, or weather changes? 3. What is your current diet like? (Please select one: Balanced and nutritious, Mostly healthy but occasional junk food, Unbalanced, high in processed foods, Not sure) 4. Are there any particular times of day when your symptoms worsen? 5. Have you experienced any changes in your digestion, such as bloating or irregular bowel movements? 6. How would you describe your current stress levels and sleep quality? 7. Have you tried any treatments or lifestyle changes that have helped or worsened your symptoms?

Please provide detailed responses so that the doctors can better understand your condition and offer tailored advice.

नमस्कार, बिना ऑक्सीजन सहायता के ऑक्सीजन का स्तर 40-60 तक गिर जाना गंभीर स्थिति है, और यह अच्छी बात है कि मरीज को पहले ही अस्पताल में भर्ती करा लिया गया है। जब डॉक्टर कहते हैं “दिल और फेफड़ों में पानी”, तो आमतौर पर यह निम्नलिखित स्थितियों की ओर इशारा करता है: - कंजेस्टिव हार्ट फेलियर = दिल की पंपिंग कमजोर, फेफड़ों में तरल पदार्थ जमा हो जाता है - पल्मोनरी एडिमा = हवा के रिक्त स्थानों में सीधे तरल पदार्थ भर जाता है - कभी-कभी दीर्घकालिक हृदय रोग भी इसका कारण हो सकता है तरल पदार्थ के कारण - ऑक्सीजन फेफड़ों से रक्त तक ठीक से नहीं पहुंच पाती - इसलिए ऑक्सीजन संतृप्ति खतरनाक रूप से कम हो जाती है वर्तमान स्थिति (महत्वपूर्ण) - बिना सहारे के ऑक्सीजन का स्तर 40-60 = जानलेवा स्थिति - ऑक्सीजन की निरंतर आवश्यकता = हृदय और फेफड़ों की क्षमता में कमी - मूत्रवर्धक दवाएं = तरल पदार्थ निकालने के लिए दी जा रही हैं (सही उपचार) आपको अभी क्या करना चाहिए 1) अस्पताल की देखभाल पर भरोसा करें (अधिक महत्वपूर्ण) मरीज को तब तक भर्ती रहना चाहिए जब तक: - बिना सहारे के ऑक्सीजन का स्तर स्थिर न हो जाए - तरल पदार्थ कम न हो जाए (एक्स-रे/इको में देखा जा सकता है) - सांस लेने में सुधार न हो जाए जल्दी घर न ले जाएं 2) डॉक्टर से ये प्रश्न पूछें आप इलाज करने वाले डॉक्टर से शांतिपूर्वक पूछ सकते हैं: - सटीक निदान क्या है? (हार्ट फेलियर? फेफड़ों की बीमारी? या दोनों? -दिल का इजेक्शन फ्रैक्शन (EF) कितना है? -क्या कोई इन्फेक्शन (जैसे निमोनिया) है? -ऑक्सीजन सपोर्ट की ज़रूरत कितने समय तक पड़ सकती है? -क्या भर्ती होने के मुकाबले अब हालत में सुधार हो रहा है? 3) रोज़ाना इन चीज़ों पर नज़र रखें -Spo2 -यूरिन आउटपुट (मूत्रवर्धक दवाओं के साथ यह ज़रूरी है) -पैरों में सूजन -सांस फूलने का स्तर 4) दवाएँ सही हैं - इन्हें बंद न करें मूत्रवर्धक दवाएँ शरीर से अतिरिक्त तरल निकालने में मदद करती हैं, लेकिन -इनका असर होने में 2-5 दिन या उससे ज़्यादा समय लग सकता है -दवा की खुराक को रोज़ाना ज़रूरत के हिसाब से बदला जा सकता है 5) पोषण और देखभाल -हल्का और कम नमक वाला खाना (नमक शरीर में तरल को जमा करता है) -तरल पदार्थों का सेवन नियंत्रित रखें -सिर को थोड़ा ऊपर उठाकर रखें (इससे सांस लेने में आसानी होती है) ठीक होने की उम्मीदें ईमानदार जवाब -ठीक होने में कुछ दिन से लेकर कुछ हफ़्ते तक का समय लग सकता है -71 साल की उम्र वाले बुज़ुर्ग मरीज़ों में ठीक होने की गति धीमी होती है -कुछ मरीज़ों को लंबे समय तक ऑक्सीजन सपोर्ट की ज़रूरत पड़ सकती है यह आमतौर पर एक पुरानी (क्रोनिक) बीमारी है, न कि कोई एक बार होने वाली समस्या इसका लक्ष्य है -अभी मरीज़ की हालत को स्थिर करना -और फिर दवाओं और जीवनशैली में बदलाव के ज़रिए लंबे समय तक इस बीमारी को नियंत्रित रखना अभी, आप सबसे अच्छा काम यह कर सकते हैं कि -शांत रहें और अस्पताल के डॉक्टरों के साथ लगातार संपर्क में रहें -यह सुनिश्चित करें कि इलाज ठीक से चलता रहे -मरीज़ को जल्दी डिस्चार्ज करवाने की जल्दबाज़ी न करें मरीज़ के जल्द ठीक होने की कामना करते हैं धन्यवाद namaskaar, bina okseejan sahaayata ke okseejan ka star 40-60 tak gir jaana gambheer sthiti hai, aur yah achchhee baat hai ki mareej ko pahale hee aspataal mein bhartee kara liya gaya hai. jab doktar kahate hain “dil aur phephadon mein paanee”, to aamataur par yah nimnalikhit sthitiyon kee or ishaara karata hai: - kanjestiv haart pheliyar = dil kee pamping kamajor, phephadon mein taral padaarth jama ho jaata hai - palmonaree edima = hava ke rikt sthaanon mein seedhe taral padaarth bhar jaata hai - kabhee-kabhee deerghakaalik hrday rog bhee isaka kaaran ho sakata hai taral padaarth ke kaaran - okseejan phephadon se rakt tak theek se nahin pahunch paatee - isalie okseejan santrpti khataranaak roop se kam ho jaatee hai vartamaan sthiti (mahatvapoorn) - bina sahaare ke okseejan ka star 40-60 = jaanaleva sthiti - okseejan kee nirantar aavashyakata = hrday aur phephadon kee kshamata mein kamee - mootravardhak davaen = taral padaarth nikaalane ke lie dee ja rahee hain (sahee upachaar) aapako abhee kya karana chaahie 1) aspataal kee dekhabhaal par bharosa karen (adhik mahatvapoorn) mareej ko tab tak bhartee rahana chaahie jab tak: - bina sahaare ke okseejan ka star sthir na ho jae - taral padaarth kam na ho jae (eks-re/iko mein dekha ja sakata hai) - saans lene mein sudhaar na ho jae jaldee ghar na le jaen 2) doktar se ye prashn poochhen aap ilaaj karane vaale doktar se shaantipoorvak poochh sakate hain: - sateek nidaan kya hai?

Namaste, Yeh condition serious hai. Heart aur lungs me pani jama hone ki wajah se oxygen level bahut kam ho raha hai, isliye hospital treatment bilkul zaroori hai. Oxygen 40–60 bina support ke bahut low hota hai, isliye jo treatment chal raha hai (oxygen support aur mutravardhak medicines) wahi sahi direction me hai. Is stage par ghar ka ya koi naya treatment start karna safe nahi hai. Aap bas itna dhyan rakhein: • Doctor ki medicines bina change kiye continue karein • Namak kam rakhein • Paani doctor ke hisaab se hi dein (zyada ya kam na karein) • Patient ko seedha flat na sulayein, thoda sir upar rakhkar sulayein Ayurveda ka role abhi sirf baad me aata hai, jab condition stable ho jaye. Abhi priority oxygen aur fluid control hai. Aap tension na lein, aap sahi jagah par treatment le rahe hain. Stable hone ke baad further support diya ja sakta hai. Consultation can help tailor this further to your needs.

Age 71 hai and heart and lungs donno ki capacity kam hai. Body mein oxygen ander lene ka kaam lungs karte hai and usko body mein circulate karne ka kaam blood ka hai jo heart ke pumping ke wajah se body mein ghumta hai. Jo donno organs oxygen level ko maintain karne ka kaam krte hai woh donno weak hai issiliye oxygen kam rehta hai. Iske complications mein multiple organs mein damage hona shuru ho jata hai as oxygen sabse jyada jaruri hota hai har organ ko kaam krte rakhne ke liye. Abhi aapko kya karna hai: Patient ko hospital mein hi rakhe. Jarurat ho toh ICU admission. Doctor agar bole toh lungs ka pani drain karvaye (tapping). patient pura stable hone ke baad ghar aane ke kam se kam 2 months baad baki aur koi supportive treatment de.

The patient needs continuous hospital care. Firstly he should get to the level of maintaining saturation of above 90% on room air and then we can go for supportive treatment.
