Can a person just stop breathing without any issues? I constantly feel like I'm not getting enough air. I don't have any medical conditions, but I still worry that I'm going to die from not being able to breathe properly.

View allI'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?

I'm having some serious trouble with my breathing lately, and I've been feeling a lot of pain around my rib cage. Plus, there's this persistent cough and it seems like there's stuff building up in my chest. Could this be something like COPD, and what should I be doing about it?

I'm dealing with a cough that's been lingering for about four days now, and I've been taking azithromycin and asthakind cough syrup. It's been pretty bothersome and sometimes even gives me a headache. Just wondering if there's something else I should try or be worried about? Any suggestions would really help.
Considering you've already taken azithromycin (an antibiotic) and Asthakind cough syrup, here are some next steps: *Next Steps* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to reassess your condition. 2. *Cough syrup adjustment*: Ask your doctor if you can switch to a different cough syrup or adjust the dosage. 3. *Pain relief*: For headaches, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). 4. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of fluids to help thin out mucus and soothe your throat. 5. *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. *When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention* 1. *Difficulty breathing*: If you experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. 2. *Chest pain*: If you have severe chest pain or pressure. 3. *Fever*: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period. 4. *Severe headache*: If your headache is severe, persistent, or accompanied by confusion, disorientation, or stiff neck.
