Question

I've been experiencing this sharp pain in my chest when I take a really deep breath, and it's kind of worrying me. What's weird is that sometimes at night, the pain shows up even when I'm not breathing deeply. It's pretty painful, and I'm just wondering what might be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it just some kind of normal thing that happens?

Question

I'm really worried about my family member who is COVID positive and is using budecort through a nebulizer along with other medications. The oxygen level is usually around 98-97, but after taking budecort, they feel breathless for about 30 minutes and the oxygen level drops to 95 but then it recovers after a bit. They're also on meds like montair LC, medrol, zocef CV, pulmoclear, dolo 650, zincovit, vitamin C, and taking anticoagulant injections. They finished courses of ivermectin, doxycycline, and fabiflu. Can you help me understand why this breathlessness happens after using budecort? Are there any remedies or steps we can take to prevent this?

Question

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past ten days and it's starting to really worry me. The doctors prescribed medications like Allegra M, Zerodol SP, Hetrazan, Medlor, and Azithromycin, but they don't seem to be working well. Plus, Ive been sweating excessively. Dry cough tends to be a common issue for me. Could you tell me if there's something else I should try or be concerned about?

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?
