I'm experiencing some breathing difficulties when I first start walking, but it seems to get better after a bit. Could this be related to anxiety? I'm a bit worried and not sure what's going on. Would appreciate any advice you might have.

Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with shortness of breath, chest pain, sinus infections, and fatigue for the last four months. I've seen three doctors, but nothing seems to be working for me. I've tried medications like doxycycline, azithromycin, montelukast, deflazacort, trystep D, gudacef antibiotics, bronchodilators, and fluticasone nasal spray, but the allergy is just getting worse. My IgE levels have jumped from 250 in June to 1100 in September, and one of my nostrils is always blocked due to the sinus issue. I'm constantly tired and at random times my chest hurts. My X-ray, blood test, and ferritin levels are all normal, but nobody has done a PFT because of COVID. Why is this happening and what should I do next?

Question

I'm dealing with LRTI and bronchitis pulmonary eosinophilia, and I'm really looking for some advice on effective treatment options.

Question

I've had this stubborn dry cough for about 15 days now. It all started with a cold and cough, and I took some antibiotics and chest cold tablets for a few days back then. The cold cleared up, but this cough just won't go away. It's mostly at night before I sleep, but somehow it doesn't bother me when I'm actually asleep. The coughing makes it hard to breathe and sometimes I feel like my heart's racing. I even get these shivering vibrations in my upper body and hands. I already spoke to a general physician and got a bunch of medications like montelukast sodium, levocetirizine hydrochloride, methylprednisolone, and cefpodoxime proxetil potassium clavulanate. I'm on my second day of this prescription, and then I read online that some of these are for asthma. Really curious and a bit worried about what this could be, and if it's got to do with my lungs or heart. Any advice on what's going on and how to find out more?
