I'm having trouble with heavy breathing, especially at night and in the morning. It gets worse when I run or do even small exercises. I feel really tired and like I'm not getting enough oxygen. When I cough, there's some pain in my chest, and I have a bit of nose congestion too. Does this sound serious? What could be causing it?

I'm really worried because I've had a severe cough for the last five days. I'm taking Micef 200, Dolo 650, Dexona, Monticope, and MagnatussA syrup for it. In the mornings, I really have to cough hard to get any phlegm out, and it comes out red at first, then turns light green. Is that normal or something I should be more concerned about? Also, I'm experiencing a lot of headaches and body pain because of the coughing. What should I do?

as there is no relief get a throat swab done and visit Physician for appropriate management

I've been having some trouble with my breathing lately. It's like I can't breathe properly, even when I'm just sitting or going about my day-to-day stuff. Sometimes I feel this tightness in my chest, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Can you help me understand what might be going on? I'm a bit worried.
