View allI tested positive for COVID on July 4th and got a negative result on July 13th. I'm still having issues though. I get really tired quickly, especially when going up stairs. I can manage to walk for about 20 minutes but anything beyond that and I start feeling exhausted and have this heavy sensation in my chest. I've had a chest X-ray, a D-dimer test, and CRP tests, and all came back normal. My SpO2 levels are consistently at 98. Should I be concerned about this? How long might it take before this weakness goes away?

I've been having really bad shortness of breath and this tight feeling in my chest, especially when it's cold and rainy like in November and December. I've noticed it's happening a lot more often, like almost every day now. I can't sleep in the early mornings because I start coughing and sneezing, and then immediately feel out of breath. I usually take Seraflo 250 and it helps for a bit, but I'd really love some advice or to know if theres a better medication that might help me deal with this. Any suggestions?

Hey, I've been smoking about 10-12 cigarettes a day and lately I'm noticing some worrying things. There's a persistent pain in my throat and sometimes in my chest too. I'm also dealing with a sore throat alongside a coughing issue that's not going away. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do about it?
To help with the pain in your throat and chest, as well as the sore throat and coughing, I recommend you try using lozenges containing benzocaine for throat pain relief. Additionally, you can use cough syrup containing dextromethorphan to help with the cough. It is important to reduce or quit smoking to improve your symptoms and overall health.
