What could it be if having menthol feeling when breathing?
Patient: My boyfriend has this cold and thinks he may have pneumonia. I looked it up on web MD and am still not sure. The odd thing is that he is complaining now of a menthol feeling when he takes a breath? Is this a sign of a serious condition and should he seek a medical professional? Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM.In my opinion, you should not worry much about his problem. But better to be sure.Menthol feeling in mouth can rarely be seen in lung infection (pneumonia).So better to get done chest x ray first.If chest x ray is normal than no need worry much for pneumonia.So this is not a sign of serious condition but better to rule out pneumonia by chest x ray.Don't worry much. Be relax and calm.
