I'm really confused about my chest congestion issue I've had for a few years now. It always flares up if I don't take Foracort 200 or Citzen, which were given by my last doctor. One doctor said it's a dust allergy, but another mentioned bronchitis, so I'm not sure which one is right. I just want to find a cure and know what's actually causing this. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm feeling really suffocated and it's pretty uncomfortable when I breathe. It seems to take quite a bit of effort. I'm also dealing with anxiety and have had anxiety attacks quite a few times. Could these breathing issues be related to my anxiety, or do you think it might be something else? What should I do next?

try doing yoga and exercises.

I'm really worried about my dad who's 86 and has chronic bronchitis. Right now, he's having some trouble breathing because there's fluid building up in his lungs. Can you suggest any good clinics where we can go to have this fluid drained? I'm just trying to find the best way to help him out.

I'm having this weird struggle with breathing, almost like I'm suffocating. It feels like my lungs aren't getting enough air. I haven't had any fever or cough, but it's been going on for a week now. My pulse is usually kind of fast, around 90. Is there any way to fix this?

anxiety or stress
