I've been having this breathlessness issue for a while now. It's strange because I don't have asthma and my blood pressure is normal. The doctor did some kind of small lung test using this tiny machine on my finger, and that came out normal too. But I keep getting this really frequent cough and have problems with acidity. Could they be related? I'm wondering if this is something serious. What's your take on it?

While your symptoms might not necessarily indicate something major, it's important to address them proactively. GERD, post-nasal drip, or even stress could be contributing to your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation to rule out other conditions
