I'm having trouble with my breathing lately, and there's this constant humming noise when I'm sleeping. I've also been dealing with a prolonged cough, and sometimes it feels like there's a sizzling sensation throughout my body. What could be going on with me?

I'm having trouble breathing properly and there's always this wheezing in my chest. When I walk, it's hard to catch my breath, and I'm also coughing a lot. I've tried taking azithromycin 500 once and using Dilosyn syrup. Can you suggest something for this constant wheezing? Are there any home remedies that might help? It's really frustrating.

start steam inhalation and wear mask in dust

I got diagnosed with Pneumonia after catching the Covid19 virus last April 14, 2021. I've been on medication for weeks and started feeling better. But now, whenever I take a deep breath, I notice some discomfort and a bit of pain in the right side of my chest, near the lower rib cage. I work night shifts and this is starting to worry me because it's impacting my job. Could this still be related to what I went through with Pneumonia, or something else?

I have two oximeters and I'm getting different readings from them. One shows 95 and the other shows 98 when I use them on the same finger. I'm not sure which one to trust. My friend's oximeter once showed 92 for me, but when I went to the hospital and checked with the electronic screen, it always showed 98. How can I figure out which reading is accurate?
