View allMy dad's 56, and he's been getting shortness of breath when he walks even short distances, climbs stairs, or does small tasks. Sometimes just coughing can make it hard for him to breathe. Can you suggest any medicines or foods that might help? I'm really concerned.

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?

I'm having real trouble with breathing, a sharp pain in my chest, and I've lost my appetite. I was told it might be gastritis, but honestly, I don't think that's it because the meds aren't helping at all. Could it be something else? What should I do?
