I'm finding it hard to breathe or feeling uneasy while breathing during the night, especially between 4 AM to 6 AM, and it's been going on for about four months. I also notice a wheezing sound when I breathe. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

Question

My dad's been on continuous medication, but he's still having a tough time breathing. He's got COPD, and he was diagnosed with it at the hospital about three months ago. We have oxygen support at home, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm really worried about his condition. Is there something more we can do, or any advice you could give on managing this better?

What is hypercapnia?

Question

I've been dealing with pneumonia for a couple of weeks now and I'm on antibiotics, but I've got this almost constant chest pain that makes it tough to sleep. My temperature is not extremely high, like around 37.2C, but what's really bothering me is this annoying, painful ache in the area around my heart. I know pneumonia can be serious and it's normal to feel unwell, but the ongoing chest and heart pain has me worried. I haven't seen anyone else mention these symptomsare they something I should be concerned about, or are they normal with pneumonia?
