I'm really concerned because I took a hard fall in the bathroom and slammed my chest on a tap. It's been about 34 days now and the chest pain hasn't gone away. I did a chest X-ray, and I'm worried if there's anything wrong with it. Could there be a chance of pneumothorax? Also, I have to fly tomorrow and I'm not sure if it's safe to fly with this kind of pain. What do you think?

View allI've been experiencing some random chest pain since I got over COVID back in May. It usually hits around the ribs or near my heart. I've had an ECG and echo, and even a stress echo, and everything came back fine. But now, with the colder weather, I feel this mild pain in my chest when I cough or do om pranayam, mainly in the heart area. My cardiologist thinks it's muscular, but I'm wondering if it could be something lung-related instead. Are there any tests I should consider to figure out if it's a lung issue or really just muscular?
take pantop 40 mg 3 days and do chest x ray

I've been dealing with a really intense dry cough ever since the second wave of COVID. It's mostly at night and doesn't really respond to regular cough meds. My doctor put me on Foracort 200 rotacaps, and it works almost immediately, which is great. But I'm still having episodes of this cough almost every night, and I keep reaching for the rotacaps. I'm kind of worried... is it okay to keep using Foracort 200 like this? And are there any potential side effects if I use it long-term?
you can use this medicine, but it has side effects headache nausea

I'm 22 and I've been experiencing shortness of breath pretty much all the time lately. It's been a few days, and I'm starting to get really worried because it messes up my ability to talk, especially while I'm working. Is it normal to feel like this every day? What could be causing it?
Feeling shortness of breath for several days isnt normal and could indicate anything from anxiety to a respiratory or heart issue. Since its affecting your daily life, I recommend seeing a doctor soon to ensure nothing serious is overlooked. Take care, and I hope you feel better soon!
