I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having these breathing issues for around two weeks now, and he's coughing up some whitish stuff, but he hasn't traveled anywhere recently. We did an X-ray and it seems like his heart might be a bit enlarged. Could this be what's causing his breathing trouble? Our city's in lockdown and I can't get him to see a doctor in person. No doctors seem available in our government hospitals too, so it's a real struggle. He's currently on Levo Mac 500, Dezacor 6, and Montegesic LC. What should we do?

I'm dealing with an itchy throat and a tight feeling in my chest for the past four months. I've tried acidity meds, but nothing seems to work. I'm wondering if spondylitis could be causing these issues. I also feel like my anxiety has ramped up because of the whole COVID situation, which might be making it worse. And sometimes, it feels like I can't take deep breaths properly. Could you please give me some advice?

no spondylitis will not cause above symptoms, take steam inhalation

I've been noticing a strange sensation whenever I take a deep breath, like something's moving in my windpipe. I've checked multiple times and even had an X-ray, which didn't show anythingjust air. I do deal with a lot of gas in my bowels. Could it be gas moving in my windpipe, or is it something else? There's no mucus or phlegm coming out, so Im not sure whats going on. Any thoughts?

do endoscopy
