I'm dealing with acute bronchitis pretty often. It usually kicks off with a sore throat and then escalates to bronchitis, complete with mucus buildup in my chest and all that. I typically skip medication and just let it run its course, which takes about a week or two. I'm really wondering if this could be harming my lungs, though. Should I be considering medication instead?

I've had COVID twice, once in September 2020 and again in April 2021. Since then, I've been feeling quite breathless. I'm worried if there might be any underlying disease causing this or if this is just a common after-effect of the virus. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a 25-year-old guy and I've been having this breathing issue for about two weeks now. It really feels like the air isn't reaching my lungs properly, so I'm finding myself having to take really deep breaths or breathe through my mouth more often. I went to see a doctor and they did a respiration test that turned out fine, but I'm still experiencing the problem. I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance or advice. Any insights would be really appreciated.

it might be due to anxiety, reduce your stress levels. take tablet pantoprazole
