I'm really worried about my mom. For the past couple of weeks, she's been having trouble breathing. We did all the tests, including a cardiogram and chest x-ray, and everything came back normal. We're in Gandhidham, Gujarat. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. When I'm lying down, it's really hard to breathe and my chest feels tight. But as soon as I get up, it almost goes back to normal. I'm also having a weird cough that feels really dense and kind of stringy. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
