I'm really worried about someone who's been having breathing and suffocation issues. They've also been dealing with a spine problem for the last five months. A specialist recommended that they rest for six months, but just recently, they've started experiencing more problems. Could you give some advice on what we should do next?

I've been experiencing this weird feeling during intense exercise, like when I'm cycling over 20km or running more than 5km. It feels like my lungs are filling up with some fluid, and I have trouble breathing. But if I take a break, it all clears up. Should I be worried about this? Is there something I should be doing differently?

It mentions a "Specimen sputum" and that no pathogenic organisms were isolated after 18 to 24 hours of incubation. Could you help me understand what this means exactly? Is it a good sign, or should we be worried about anything?
