| Abstract | A 75-year-old man was admitted to our outpatient clinic with complaints of shortness of breath and haemoptysis. He defined no respiratory symptoms 2months to the admission. He could not remember the how or when the dyspnea began, however he reported a permanent shortness of breath for approximately two months, without association of a specific condition. Two weeks before, he experienced blood in his sputum when he coughed and this symptom was repeated two or three times a day. His primary care physician prescribed him bronchodilators and levofloxacin with the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and pneumonia. He did not experience any relief though he used the medication regularly. His remaining medical history was not significant for any chronic diseases. His medications included irregularly used omeprazole and pain killers. He was a water-pipe smoker for 50years. He reported to swallow 3 olive seeds in a day, after he watched a herbalist which had advised to do so, on a television program. |
