I'm really worried because I've been feeling this heaviness in my left upper area and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. It's getting really uncomfortable and annoying. I saw a cardiologist but they didn't find anything. To feel better, I sometimes have to take deep breaths through my mouth. Do you have any ideas on what could help or any medicine you can suggest?

View allI'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. I had mild to moderate pneumonia from COVID last month, and I tested negative after 23 days. My CT value at that time was 7 by 25. Right now, I'm just taking Perfitab. But whenever I skip the meds, I get this really annoying burning or itching feeling in the middle of my chest, and it only seems to happen when I'm resting. I don't have a cough or any breathlessness, so I'm confused. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be lung fibrosis or something else?

I've been having some trouble with my breathing for the last couple of months. It feels like I'm trying to take deep breaths, but the oxygen isn't reaching my stomach, and this happens all day long. Usually, my SpO2 level is above 98, but when I'm having this issue, it drops by about 12 points. However, when I wake up in the morning and check with an oximeter, it shows 99 or 100 for about a minute. I do brisk walking for an hour every morning, and while I feel a bit short of breath, its not too bad. I dont have a fever, and an HRCT scan only showed a tiny linear fibrotic band in my right lung, which my doctor says isnt anything serious. All my tests like CBC, Lipid Profile, ECG, LFT, KFT, CRP, ESR, Thyroid, and Urine Examination are normal. My Spirometry test was normal too. I do tend to have high blood pressure, and my fasting glucose level was 107, but my HbA1c is 5. I'm really worried. What should I do?
it might be because of anxiety, try doing some yoga kind of exercises

I'm living in a cold climate, and for the past couple of years, as winter approaches, I've noticed I have this ongoing breathing problem along with a cough that produces phlegm. It seems to linger all winter long. I've tried using some anti-cough syrups, but they haven't really helped much. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
