Question

I've been having trouble with shortness of breath and a dry cough, especially when I'm talking or laughing. I saw a doctor and was given some meds for three days: Zifi LBX, Maxtra Cold, Nelson, and Corex cough syrup. But I'm still dealing with the same issues. What should I do now? Any advice would be appreciated.

Question

I'm experiencing some issues that started last night and I'm a bit worried. My Spo2 levels fluctuate between 97 and 98, but they dip to 95 or 96 if I lie down at a certain angle. I've also been dealing with gastric problems and a heavy chest. Whenever I take a deep breath, it triggers a cough. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

Question

I'm having trouble breathing for the last couple of days. My chest just feels really heavy, and I'm needing to take deeper breaths than usual. Weirdly, my nose isn't blocked, and there isn't any pain anywhereeverything else seems normal. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can fix it?

Question

I've been feeling really congested in my chest and no matter how much I sleep, I just wake up feeling tired all day like I can't get enough rest. I tried taking Asthalin before sleeping last night and it seemed to help a bit with the fatigue. I'm also dealing with a lot of acidity all day long, and sometimes it even makes me vomit and I end up coughing up a lot of phlegm. Do you think these things are related, and what can I do about it?
