I'm having trouble breathing sometimes, and it's really hard to inhale. I start feeling suffocated, and when I try to breathe through my mouth, I end up with a severe headache and feel dizzy. There are times when I even feel sort of partially paralyzed. What's going on with me?

I'm a bit worried about my husband. He had a viral fever, cough, and weakness. Thankfully, his fever's gone, and his weakness has improved, but he still has this cough. When he coughs, he struggles with shortness of breath, and even when he tries to take deep breaths, it triggers his cough. He's currently on Gudcef 200 and Windose tablets, as prescribed by the doctor. Any advice on how we should handle this situation?
