I'm having some trouble with my breathing. It seems like every 5 to 10 seconds, I have to take a deep breath. I'm really wondering what could be causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I've noticed my wife has been dealing with breathlessness for the last 4 years. She often feels like she needs to take deep breaths just to feel comfortable, even when she's just sitting around doing nothing. Sometimes, these episodes of breathlessness disappear for days. What could be causing this, and should we be worried?

What's happening when someone with pneumonia has fluid filling up in their lungs? Is being on a ventilator common for this kind of breathing problem? How serious is it?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried because for the last couple of months I've been noticing dark blood streaks in my sputum, mostly in the morning or sometimes throughout the day. It's really concerning me, especially since I only see these streaks when I blow my nose and spit. The ENT I visited said my throat is inflamed and gave me a nasal spray and something called drez gargling. Even after seeing a pulmonologist and getting all sorts of tests like x-rays, blood tests, sputum tests, and urine tests, everything came back normal. I was given styptocid tablets and zady 250 mg for a few days, but the issue is still there. I dont even have a cough. What steps should I take next?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
