I'm having this random shortness of breath every now and then during the day, but strangely, it doesn't happen while I'm sleeping. I first felt this back in December 2019, and it just stopped on its own then. But it's popping up again over the last few days, and I'm a bit worried about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I'm really worried because I've had this cough for about 10 days now. I tried taking Banocide and Zyrcold, but they didn't help. I'm thinking about trying Azax 500, but I'm unsure if it's safe for me to take. Could you give me some advice on this?

I've been having trouble taking a deep breath without yawning for the last couple of months. It feels like I'm just not getting enough air, almost like I'm hungry for it. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called air hunger, which can be caused by various underlying medical issues. One common cause is anxiety or stress, but it can also be due to respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or even heart conditions. To address your symptoms, it is important to first consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try using an inhaler like Albuterol (Ventolin) for possible asthma symptoms. The usual dosage for adults is 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management.
