I had a minor fracture surgery on my left leg at nulife hospital last week and everything seemed fine with my reports during the operation, but now I'm feeling breathless when I try to sleep. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

I'm really worried because I've been coughing for two weeks now, and it's getting to the point where sometimes when I cough really hard, it completely blocks my throat and I can't breathe. It's scary, and on top of that, I've actually thrown up what I've just eaten a few times. I already saw a general doctor, but the meds they gave me aren't doing anything. Can you tell me which specialist I should talk to about this?

I've been having this nagging cough for a few days now, and it's not really getting better. It feels like I'm trying really hard to bring something up, but nothing's coming out. Plus, there's this chest pain that kicks in every time I cough or even when I move my hands. Its making me a bit worried. What could be going on here, and should I be doing anything specific about it?
