I'm having trouble breathing fully, like I can't completely expand my lungs or part of them isn't getting enough oxygen. I find myself waiting to yawn to feel like Im finally getting enough air. This happened last year too, and the doctor said it was stress and it went away in two weeks without any meds. This time I saw an MD pulmonary, and they did tests for thyroid, which came back fine. I'm negative for COVID, and all my lipid and liver function tests are okay. But now I'm not sure who to go to next, and the difficulty in breathing just seems to be getting worse. What could this be?

I've been dealing with this persistent dry cough and throat irritation for the past four years, mostly due to seasonal allergies, but this year it's been different. The cough just isn't going away. It's like there's something stuck in my throat, making me cough non-stop for a couple of minutes until it clears up a bit. It happens every once in a while, but thankfully, there's no breathlessness. I've tried antibiotics, anti-allergics, antacids, and loads of other stuff, but nothing seems to truly help. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should try to get some relief?

you can take tablet montec lc for 1 week continusly

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing, especially in the mornings when I wake up. It's been going on for almost 2 months now. I've also been dealing with flu-like symptoms for about 20 days and my nose is blocked quite often, even though I've been taking Montek LC. It doesn't seem to be helping much. There's also a weird sensation in my chest like I need to cough, but it just doesn't happen. I don't have a sore throat or fever, so I'm a bit confused. By the way, I've had gastric issues for a long time. What would you suggest I do?

take syrup ascoril for 5 days and take tablet monteclc if you are allergic

I'm wondering how to take Mucinac 600. The doctor mentioned dissolving it in water, but I forgot to ask if I should use normal or hot water. Also, what exactly does it help with?

normal water
