Question

I'm a 25-year-old guy and I've been having this breathing issue for about two weeks now. It really feels like the air isn't reaching my lungs properly, so I'm finding myself having to take really deep breaths or breathe through my mouth more often. I went to see a doctor and they did a respiration test that turned out fine, but I'm still experiencing the problem. I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance or advice. Any insights would be really appreciated.

Question

I've recently had a punctured and collapsed lung from a stab wound, and it's only been a week since I was discharged from the hospital. I know I shouldn't smoke since it might collapse my lung again or cause breathing issues. But I've noticed I'm coughing up a bit of blood lately. I started vaping as an alternative and am wondering if that's causing the blood in my cough. Could vaping be the reason, or is this something else I should be worried about?

Question

Ive been dealing with shortness of breath for about 5 years and all my tests like PFT, ECG, CT thorax, chest X-rays, 2D echo, and others came back normal. Ive even had them repeated in 2017 and 2019. Ive seen a lot of pulmonologists and cardiologists but nobodys been able to figure it out. It used to only bother me at night but now it happens during the day too. Even sleep meds arent helping now. Some doctors thought it was tension or weakness, but I'm quite active, exercising and doing yoga and pranayama daily. Night times are really tough and sometimes I can't sleep at all, even with meditation or taking stalopam plus. I'm only 21, so its really worrying. What do you think could be going on?

Question

Ive been dealing with chronic bronchitis and it's really been affecting my sleepI can barely get a good night's rest with the insomnia. Plus, I've been having chest congestion, indigestion, and even some internal bleeding. It's getting to the point where I need more and more oxygen, and I'm finding myself having to take big breaths through my mouth. Do you have any suggestions or info on how to manage these symptoms better? I'm getting pretty worried about my health.
