Question

I've been having this really intense pain on the upper right side of my chest when I wake up in the morning, and it's got me a bit worried. I'm not sure if it's my lung or something else, but it's bad enough that I can't really move until later in the day when it seems to get a bit better. Could this be something serious or just how I'm sleeping? Any advice on what I can do to stop it from happening?

It sounds like the pain might be related to muscle strain or poor posture during sleep, especially if it improves as the day goes on. However, if it persists or worsens, its important to get checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying issues, such as lung or heart problems. In the meantime, try adjusting your sleep posture and incorporating stretches to relieve tension.

Question

I've been dealing with a cough that I had a couple of months ago, and while it seems to be gone now, I'm still having trouble with persistent mucus. Recently, I've started feeling some chest tightness and alternating mild to moderate pain. Just a few days ago, my throat was also bothering me. I'm really concerned about what's causing all these symptoms, especially during this lockdown. Any advice on what I should do?

Question

I'm dealing with a really heavy dry cough at night and it's gotten so bad that I can't sleep well. It's even causing stomach pain because I'm coughing so hard. This seems to happen a lot, like once a month, and then it sticks around for about two weeks. I've seen general physicians and they mention things like throat infections or seasonal changes, but it keeps coming back every month or two. I'm really trying to figure out what's causing this so I can find a permanent solution. What kind of specialist should I see to get to the bottom of this?
