I am 41, male, living in Bangalore since 1996
Right now I have three set of symptoms. These symptoms are prominent since last 10 days and are occurring together.
1. Asthma related: I am getting wheezing - typically in out breath. Most prominent in early hours of morning. But last few days - its actual there the whole day. The phlegm does not come out, and if comes out gives me a better feeling. When it comes out it is generally light green (or sometimes white) and little in quantity. Wheezing tends to get aggravated sometimes when i climb stairs (specially with my son in arms); sometimes when I drink something cold; some citrus fruits (which are sour like grapes or orange); sometimes with dust or perfumes; (specially dust coming out of old clothes or old books). Any physical exertion does worsen the wheezing - though hit doesn’t make me totally down - as in - I am able to continue to do something physical (say play tennis inspite of the wheezing). I normally do not get much cough - sometimes a spasm - which seems to come from chest and not painful and is dry. But this is rare. Usually there is no expulsion of phlegm with cough.
2. Rhinitis related: I have a perennial cold - which typically stays in the nose (little mucus comes out). There is not much need to clean the nose (only in the morning I need to clean my nose with water). Otherwise I do not need to use kerchief during whole day (but the cold is there in the nose). I get several bouts of (hard and loud) sneezing. The sneezes are almost accompanied with watery eyes - though the water does not hurt. Currently my eyes are itching badly - almost the whole day. I am rubbing my eyes too much and they are red. I also get itching at the ceiling of my throat and itching in the ear (though these two not there for last 10 days).
Sometimes when I get sneezing - I get watery nose - with discharge stingy and acidic burning my nostril (but this has not happened in the last 10 days). In fact my nose changes symptoms very fast and within a day I would have a runny nose, a blocked nose, a cold hanging in nose and so on. Discharge normally is green or sometimes whitish-grey.
3. Abdomen related: Last 10 days my stomach is bloated (distended) - the upper part of abdomen - above the navel - the abdomen feels very taut - like a football - and has given me a funny shape as if I am pregnant. I feel hungry quite a lot but when I eat I feel full. Eating makes the distension worse - but it is anyway distended the whole day. But hte dinner is the worst meal - although i am now becasue of the problem eating light and early (by 7:30pm) but still after dinner to the distention is really bad - the stomach is really taut and almost painful.
Stool is soft, pale yellow - but every time I get the feeling of not satisfactorily passing of stool. So I end up passing stool 3-4 times a day. I get sometimes itching in rectum. But its not there on all days. I do burp sometimes or pass flatus sometimes - and i think that both these should give me relief - but actually they don't (both are not too much in frequency). I like eating both spicy as well as sweet things - no special preference. I do get rumbling sometimes in the tummy. There is no pain - just the abdomen feels very tight, very uncomfortable.
History
I had had problems of wheezing for many years now (almost since i moved to bangalore 12 years back), but they come only off and on (some months of the year like aug-sep and jan-feb) and usually managed without any medication. Last year Spongia tosta helped me ease my wheezing but this year it hasn't helped. Sometimes when i get an attack of wheezing - mostly in the morning between 3am-5am - i take an asthalin inhalation (but this is very infrequent - say about 10 times in a year. However last 10 days have been bad and have taken asthalin almost one a day.
Other than cold and wheezing as such i do not have any other medical problems
Physical characteristics
4. The house / colony where i live has lot of greenery around, specially lot of wild grass growing in the vacant plots.
5. I am of a regular built - 5'6" height, 66kgs, like playing sports and do play fairly regularly (though not playing for the last 10 days as my partner is injured); Overall nowadays feel tired quite easily.
6. My tongue is normally coated thick white.
7. My wife often tells that my breath smell is bad and even brushing or cleaning tongue may not help. My own sense of smell is week - possibly because of the perennial cold.
8. Thirst is normal - though in general i feel like drinking something cold (though i avoid it). I like coffee and drink two cups in a day (sometimes 3 :)
9. Otherwise my diet is fairly healthy (veg food, no drinking or smoking). i like snacking in between meals; i generally eat fast; i like fruits and salads.
10 Skin is dry; I sweat easily - specially in the face.
11 Like to sleep covered till shoulders, sleep normally straight. Indoors or outdoors both i like - no special preference to warm or cold - though nowadays i do not like fan in the evening or morning.
12 I move my legs a lot when sitting and doing work or talking.
13 Like to be touched - soothes me a lot - specially gently the feet being rubbed (or even face or neck)
14 I get neck stiffness quite a lot - but this could be because of excessive use of computer and head constantly looking "down" because of the laptop. I sometimes avoid pillow.
15 I do get - once in a while - a catch in my back - with sometimes sharp pain.
16 Lifestyle - Basically sedentary - computer based or discussion based work - mostly sitting whole day. I do play (tennis / squash) in the morning 2-3 times a week - or go for walks.
17 I do feel tired by evening and often drowsy by 8-9pm. However few hours (2-3 hours) of sleep can freshen me up and hence i can sleep from 9pm to 1am and then work for few hours and be fresh the next whole day. (though i do not do this normally - i goto sleep by 11pm)
18 I am easy sleeper (can get sleep anytime of the day) - yet can avoid sleeping and still feel fresh whole day
19 In general I do not like sun much and may get a headache (though not frequently), nor do I like bright light. Like soft soothing light.
20 Do have a history of unsatisfactory bowel movements. Get smelly flatulence easily (in which Ver. Alb has really benefited). Normally I pass stool promptly in the morning.
Mental characteristics
21 I am generally a relaxed and calm person. I do not get angry easily and a usually complimented for my sense of humour.
22 I day dream a lot - often talking to myself or imagining myself in different "situations and roles". This to be is a nice way to relax (I do not need TV - my own imagination is a good source of entertainment.
23 I do not worry; also procrastinate doing unpleasant or regular chores.
24 I think I have higher than normal sexual urge
25 I like company though I do not mind being alone. But in general I am an introvert.
26 My dreams are many a times related to Missing a train or flight or bus - and / or an accident of the same.
27 I like music, reading, going outdoors, eating out,
