I'm wondering if the muscles in my upper back are affecting my breathing. When I lean against the wall near my bed, I feel like I'm gasping for air, and my upper back muscles get really tight. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you shed some light on this? What should I do about it?

I'm in a bit of a situation and could use your advice. My dad's been dealing with this interstitial-looking disease and he's currently on medication for it. The doctor said we should consider getting an oxygen concentrator for him. I want to make sure I choose the right equipment and find a reliable dealer. Could you suggest any specific models or places where I could purchase one?

kindly take help of pharmacist
