I'm really concerned about constantly feeling short of breath, especially when I try to do tasks or any hard work like climbing a ladder. I'm wondering why that's happening and what I should do about it.

Sometimes it even has a bit of blood in it. Is this something to worry about? Will the coughing go away completely, and is it normal to see blood in the mucus?

I'm really worried because I've been having an irritated throat with a lot of coughing. Even scarier, I'm noticing some blood coming up when I cough. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
The presence of blood in your cough could be due to irritation of the throat or respiratory tract. I recommend you take a cough syrup like Benadryl Cough Formula (dosage: 10ml three times a day) to help soothe your throat and reduce the coughing. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils (dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2-3 hours) to help with the irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

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.
