I'm trying to understand the corona severity score which is out of 40. Could you explain what that means? Like, what's considered a normal score for someone with COVID? I'm concerned about what these numbers indicate for a patient's condition.

Question

I'm having this weird struggle with breathing, almost like I'm suffocating. It feels like my lungs aren't getting enough air. I haven't had any fever or cough, but it's been going on for a week now. My pulse is usually kind of fast, around 90. Is there any way to fix this?

Question

I'm wondering why I sometimes have a whistling sound when I breathe and why people say I breathe heavily. I've always struggled to control my breathing, even during yoga, and I get out of breath when climbing stairs. People often say it's because I'm overweight, but even when I wasn't, I still had these breathing issues. Could there be another reason for this?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been coughing up small amounts of blood for the past couple of days. What could be causing this and how can I get rid of it?
