I'm finding it hard to breathe or feeling uneasy while breathing during the night, especially between 4 AM to 6 AM, and it's been going on for about four months. I also notice a wheezing sound when I breathe. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

I'm having some serious trouble with my breathing lately, and I've been feeling a lot of pain around my rib cage. Plus, there's this persistent cough and it seems like there's stuff building up in my chest. Could this be something like COPD, and what should I be doing about it?

I'm curious if having gas can lead to fluctuations in the SpO2 levels on an oximeter for someone who's 24 days past their COVID infection. Should I be concerned about this or is it normal?

I'm really worried about pulmonary embolism because I read that 80% of cases are only diagnosed during an autopsy. It's kind of freaking me out to think about how often this might go undetected. What are the scenarios where dead space ventilation is observed, and are there any conditions where it's not usually present? I'm trying to understand more about how this works and what signs I should look out for.
