Question

I've been having this chest tightness and shortness of breath for about four months now, and it's getting pretty bad. About six months ago, I noticed my sputum turning grey once a day too. My doctor did a sputum culture and said it's streptococci pneumonia, but my X-ray and ECG were normal. I was on Novamax 500mg three times a day, but I still feel tightness in my chest and have grey sputum. A CT scan showed fibrotic strands on my upper right lobe, which my doctor said was from a past infection. I'm not on any meds right now, but I'm still struggling with these symptoms. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what steps I should take next? It's really affecting my daily life.

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

Ive been having this weird shortness of breath lately, and its causing me to yawn a lot. I do feel a bit better after yawning, but its been going on for a really long time. I think its related to my allergies, probably from dust and pollution. Any advice on what I can do to get some relief?
