I'm struggling with breathing issues for the past three months, like I cant get a good deep breath sometimes, and it's like something is blocking me. Plus, I'm getting this tight feeling in my throat. I had a chest X-ray, but it showed nothing wrong. Could this be due to my gas problem or something else? What should I do?

since chest xray is normal, need not to worry. reduce your stress levels

I've been having trouble with my breathing when I walk. It feels like I'm not taking full breaths, and there's this heaviness in my chest. I've had an X-ray, CT scan of my chest, an ECG, and a 2D echo of my heart, and everything came back normal. I'm really confused about what could be causing this. Any ideas?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having this thick, yellow, milky mucus with a little bit of blood in it from his nose in the mornings. The rest of the day, there's no blood, just yellow-green mucus, even though it's been two weeks since he started antibiotics. He was prescribed Azithromycin for five days and Doxycycline twice daily. Twice he coughed up some blood, but it stopped on the same day. Now, he's mostly coughing up white, thick phlegm. This started after his fever went away. What do you think might be going on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
