I'm having trouble breathing all day and it's making me really anxious. I've had issues with acid reflux and anxiety before, and I'm getting treatment for them, but yesterday my breathing got worse. I couldn't sleep all night because of it. I don't have a history of asthma or cold or chest pain, but I feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen through my mouth and nose. It's super frustrating, and even yawning feels difficult. I did an echo and an ECG last month and both were normal. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm a bit confused about how doctors handle a simple common cold. If someone doesn't have any symptoms and hasn't had a chest X-ray, do pulmonologists still do a hands-on assessment of the lungs and thorax without a stethoscope? I'm just curious about what they look for and if that's a normal practice or not.
for lung assesment we need stethescope

I'm really struggling with chest pressure and tightness and it's been hard to breathe. I've stopped vaping for 3 days now, but the symptoms haven't improved. I don't have a fever, cold, or cough, but I'm feeling really anxious, almost like I have corona. I'm wondering if this could be due to poor eating habits or constipation? What can I do to feel better?
Yes, chest pressure and tightness along with severe shortness of breath can be related to poor eating habits and constipation. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter laxatives such as Dulcolax or Miralax to relieve constipation. It is also important to drink plenty of water, eat a high-fiber diet, and engage in regular physical activity to improve digestion. You can try using an inhaler such as Ventolin to help open up your airways. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Tums or Maalox to relieve any acid reflux that may be contributing to your symptoms. It is also important to avoid vaping and seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen or if you develop any new symptoms.

I've recently had a punctured and collapsed lung from a stab wound, and it's only been a week since I was discharged from the hospital. I know I shouldn't smoke since it might collapse my lung again or cause breathing issues. But I've noticed I'm coughing up a bit of blood lately. I started vaping as an alternative and am wondering if that's causing the blood in my cough. Could vaping be the reason, or is this something else I should be worried about?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
