I'm a bit worried because it's been a month since I had COVID, and now I'm experiencing breathing issues. Its strange because when I tested positive, I didn't have any breathing problems at all. Do you know why this might be happening now?

I'm really struggling with this persistent wet cough and the pain it's causing in my chest. Every time the seasons change, it's the same routine: blocked nose, runny nose, and that horrible itch in my throat that makes me want to cough all the time. I got my X-ray and PFT done, but everything came back normal, which is frustrating because my throat just constantly feels heavy, like it's never clear. I really wish I could solve this for good. Unfortunately, there's no chest specialist in my area. Could you please give me some advice on what I can do?

I'm really worried because I've been struggling with shortness of breath for the past six months, especially at night, and it's making it impossible for me to sleep. I had a pulmonary test and they mentioned something about pneumobilia. Can you explain what that is and what might be causing this?

When I try to breathe, my chest feels really tight and it gets worse when I laugh. I'm just lying here in bed and it's super hard to breathe normally. Is this something serious? What should I do about it?
