I'm having a hard time breathing sometimes and it's kind of worrying. I just got over Covid-19. Have noticed I feel better after burping. Could there be a connection between the shortness of breath and burping? What's happening with my body?

I'm experiencing this issue where my breathing feels low during the night, even though all my tests like PFT, echo, and TMT are normal. I live in a hilly area, and I'm wondering if that's affecting my oxygen levels at night. Could moving to a flatter area help with getting more oxygen? Is there a particular reason that might justify relocating?

due to not acclimatization

I'm a bit stressed out because I've been managing my bronchial asthma for 20 years using a regular puff of Forair 250 mg from Novacart, and it's worked really well for me. But I just found out they've stopped making it, and I'm starting to feel the symptoms coming back. Do you know of any alternatives I can try?

Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I came down with covid about 18 days ago and ended up in the hospital for 5 days. I was admitted 4 days after my symptoms started, mostly high fever, though my sp02 was normal. My CRP levels were at 6 when I was admitted but after 5 days of treatment, they dropped to 0.69 so they sent me home. I'm on some meds now, including predmet 8mg, but I stopped taking it since it messed with my blood sugar. My chest CT scan showed 30-40% lung involvement. Should I be worried about developing lung fibrosis in the future?

you shouldn't suddenly stop any medicine. there are least chances of fibrosis
