Question

I'm having some trouble with breathlessness. I've been smoking regularly for just five days, but now I'm completely staying away from it. Even so, I'm still experiencing this breathlessness. What could be going on? Any insights would be really helpful!

Question

I'm concerned about my 70-year-old mom. She's really sensitive to the cold, and since last week, she's been coughing after showering and sitting under a fast fan. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some mucusy spit. She doesn't have a fever, shortness of breath, or feel weak, but I'm worried about whether this needs attention. Should I consider seeing a specialist or doing any tests, especially since she's refusing to visit the doctor? Any advice would really help.

Question

I'm having some trouble with breathing after meals. It's like shortness of breath, and I find it hard to breathe properly. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could this be related to something I'm eating or how I'm eating? Would love your insight on this.

Question
