I'm experiencing this feeling of suffocation sometimes, and it's really hard to catch my breath. I've been gasping for some fresh air and find myself needing to breathe through my mouth a lot. What's going on here? Should I be concerned about this?

View allI'm having real trouble with breathing, a sharp pain in my chest, and I've lost my appetite. I was told it might be gastritis, but honestly, I don't think that's it because the meds aren't helping at all. Could it be something else? What should I do?

I'm really worried as my friend tested COVID positive just four days ago. They're fully vaccinated and don't have any major symptoms, and their oxygen level is between 98-99 with a pulse rate of 80. I'm not sure if the chest X-ray is showing anything alarming. Could you help me understand if everything looks alright, or if there's anything serious we should be concerned about? How can they get better?

I'm an ex-smoker, having smoked about 510 cigarettes a month for 56 years, and I quit just a month ago. I'm really worried because I'm experiencing chest congestion and I'm producing sputum, though it isn't thick. I'm also noticing mild labored breathing whenever I exert myself. I have a chronic dust allergy, and my recent chest X-ray showed I have mild sinusitis. The main worrying sign right now is that I hear a low-pitched whistling sound when I breathe in. Can you please advise me on how I can help heal my lungs from all the damage over the years?
Do regular breathing exercises, avoid allergens
