I'm really concerned because since yesterday I've been experiencing this chest pain on the right side whenever I exhale. It's like a sharp pain whenever I breathe out. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this, and what should I do?

Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a pulmonary embolism or pleurisy. However, if it is determined to be musculoskeletal in nature, you can consider taking ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area may also help alleviate the discomfort. Remember to rest and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention promptly.

View allI've been dealing with a cough for about a month now. I saw a doctor, and my lab results showed it was typhoid. I did the prescribed treatment for a month and stopped, and while I'm not feeling super sick anymore, I'm still not feeling 100% either. I get this occasional deep dry cough a few times a day, and my doctor mentioned it might be allergic bronchiolitis and could stick around for a while. I also feel weak sometimes and have loose motions on occasion. Do you think I should see a doctor again? If so, what kind of specialist would be best? Or is this something that happens after typhoid and will eventually go away on its own? I'm just a bit worried since it's been a month already.

I've been having this really odd experience where my oxygen levels are consistently around 98 to 100, and my blood pressure is at 12074, which seems normal. But at night, I often feel like I'm not getting enough air or like I can't breathe, even though the oximeter says I'm at 99 to 100. It'll wake me up, and it makes sleeping kind of an anxiety-riddled task because I'm worried about not being able to breathe even when I'm actually doing it. I talked to a doctor about it, and they had me do a chest x-ray and liver function test, which came back alright, and gave me some meds. Still, when I try to sleep, there's this constant fear of being short of breath, and, for like 10 to 15 seconds, I actually do feel breathless. Any advice on what might be going on?
since your saturation is normal, it might be due to anxiety . try reducing your stress

My mom recently got over COVID and tested negative, but her CT scan shows around 64% of her lungs are affected. She's been doing breathing exercises online, but her oxygen levels dip when she goes for a walk. What should we do? I'm really worried.
