I'm curious if pleurisy or pulmonary effusion could be causing me pain in my calf muscles. About three years ago, I was treated for pulmonary effusion, and since then, I've had a slight pain when breathing. But now I've also got this calf muscle pain. Could these be connected? What should I do about it?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife's health. A couple of days ago, she started having severe pain and then found it hard to breathe, so we rushed to the closest hospital. Her breathing was really limited, maybe only happening every 10 to 15 seconds. The doctors there suggested we head to a larger hospital right away. It felt like we were about to lose her, but thankfully, once they gave her oxygen, she began to breathe normally within a few minutes. However, her pain continued for nearly an hour afterward. They ran some tests like x-rays, ultrasound, CBC, and lipase, and everything came back normal, so they let her go. But then the following night, she had a similar breathing issue, though she seemed fine after about 5 minutes. The same thing happened again this morning. I'm starting to get really concerned. Is this something serious that we should be worried about? She also forgets things quickly, sometimes shakes, and looks shocked when we wake her up from sleep. Could there be some psychological issues at play here too? I'm at a loss because she was never like this before, not even during COVID, and she doesn't have asthma. I'm really eager to know what's going on with her breathing issues. Any insight would be really helpful.

I'm trying to understand the corona severity score which is out of 40. Could you explain what that means? Like, what's considered a normal score for someone with COVID? I'm concerned about what these numbers indicate for a patient's condition.

Question

I'm really struggling with breathing properly because it feels like my lungs aren't getting enough air and my nose is almost always blocked. This has been going on for a few months now. Sometimes I get chest congestion too. It's affecting my sleep a lot since I wake up with a heavy head and I feel sleepy and drowsy the whole day. Could you suggest what might be going on?
