Feel like I always have mucus in my throat and lungs, and it's making it hard to breathe properly. I keep having to spit it out. When I sleep and wake up, there's a pressure in my chest. Can anyone help?

View allHey, so my boyfriend is 25 and he used to take Deriphyllin, but now he's been prescribed Deriphyllin M. I'm a bit concerned and wondering, like, what's the real difference between the two? Is one safer or more effective than the other? I'm just trying to figure out which one he should be using.
Deriphyllin and Deriphyllin M are both used to treat respiratory issues like asthma and COPD, but the main difference lies in their composition. Deriphyllin contains Etophylline and Theophylline, whereas Deriphyllin M contains an additional ingredient, Menthol, which helps relieve congestion and cough.

Ive been having chest pain for a few days now and Im really worried. I want to find out how much TB and COVID have affected my chest. Should I just get an HRCT scan to check for both or is there another specific scan I need to do?

I'm feeling like there's bone cracking or nerve tearing in the center of my chest when I sneeze, even when it's not too forceful. My chest feels heavy, I'm constantly fatigued, and I find it a bit hard to breathe almost every day. This has been going on for about two years now. I stopped exercising a while ago and my lifestyle is super sedentary. I get tired really quickly, like just from climbing stairs while carrying a bit of weight. Sometimes when I sneeze, this super sticky heavy transparent cough comes out straight away without just staying in my mouth. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this?
Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
