Question

Ive been feeling really suffocated for the past three days, and it's making it really tough to get any work done. My chest feels tight and heavy, and I've also got this nagging upset stomach. Its like Im completely unhappy and cant shake off these negative thoughts. Im wondering, is this a breathing problem or anxiety or something else entirely? I had a chest x-ray done about three months ago, and it didnt show anything, but the problems still here. The doctor mentioned something about allergic rhinitis, and Ive been taking Alerfix Total daily for three months and Oxitin CR Forte, but I missed my Oxitin dose the last two days. Could this be something serious? And how can I get rid of this permanently?

Question

I've been having shortness of breath for the past two months and it started really suddenly. At first, I was also dealing with back pain and lung pain along with a feeling of tightness. Now it's mostly just the shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my left lung. My lung X-ray came back normal and the EEG report was fine too. The doctor didn't prescribe any medicine, but I'm still struggling with shortness of breath. What could be going on, and should I be concerned about this?

Question

I've been having trouble breathing at times, like my lungs aren't fully filling up with air, even though my oxygen levels are normal at 96-98. I got over COVID about two months ago, and Im doing the six-minute walk test without any drop in oxygen saturation. What could be going on?

Question

I'm looking over the HRCT report and noticed that my SpO2 levels are fluctuating. They usually stay above 90, but I'm concerned about why there's any fluctuation at all. Can you help explain what might be causing this?
