I'm a smoker and have been feeling pain in my lungs, plus I've got this burning sensation in my stomach. I'm also dealing with gastric and digestive issues. Can you tell me what might be going on or what tests I could get to check my lungs' health? I've been getting this itchy feeling on my chest, and my left shoulder and arm are aching. I'm really looking for some advice on how to deal with these problems and any precautions I should be taking for my lungs. Would appreciate any help.

I'm dealing with a really stubborn dry cough that's been going on for over a month now. I've already tried taking Azee and Levoday antibiotics and used Ascoryl and Benadryl dry cough syrups, but nothing seems to be working. Any idea what else I could try or what might be going on?

-It sounds frustrating that your dry cough is lingering despite treatment. Since the antibiotics and cough syrups haven't helped, I recommend seeing a doctor again to rule out other causes, such as asthma, acid reflux, or post-nasal drip. A thorough check
