Question

I've been feeling breathless for the past couple of days, but I don't have a fever or a sore throat. I'm really worried it might be the coronavirus. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been experiencing this bizarre sensation latelywhenever I try to lift something heavy, my lungs start to hurt and my breathing gets all rapid. It feels like my lungs are almost trying to escape out my mouth, and it's honestly pretty scary. Could you recommend any effective medication to help with this? I'm looking for some relief and would appreciate your advice.
