Question

I'm having trouble breathing for the past three days, and it's been a bit strange because sometimes it seems to get better for a while, but mostly it's still there. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

Question

Every time I breathe in, I feel this pinching pain in my lung area, and it's bothering me in both my chest and back. I've tried stretching and moving around, but it just doesn't seem to help. Could you give me some insight into what's going on?

Question

Can I keep an oxygen cylinder at home just in case, as a precaution for COVID, while waiting for hospital admission? Would having this on hand help maintain the oxygen saturation levels if things get critical before I can get to the hospital?

Question

I've been dealing with these choking issues for almost a year now. It's like I get this shortness of breath and try to fix it by coughing on purpose. It ends up in this kind of cough that feels like I'm about to vomit, but I never do, and nothing really comes out. No fever or anything, but I've been taking half a Montek LC tablet at night, and it's not really doing much. What could be going on with me?
