I'm starting to feel concerned because I keep getting this urge to take deep breaths every now and then, but I'm breathing normally in between. It's been happening for about 15 days now, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

I've been dealing with some health issues after recovering from COVID-19. I tested negative back in November 2020, but I had pneumonia when I was positive. I've been under treatment for about a month with a reputed pulmonologist. My latest CT chest scan showed patchy ground glass haziness in the lower right lobe, and the CT severity score is 225. These days, I don't really have breathing problems or any major issues, but I feel a bit weak. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next or if there's anything I should be concerned about?

Patient is advised tab azithromycin 500 mg orallyonce daily for 5 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime orally for 5 days.

I'm really worried about my health situation. I've had childhood asthma and sinusitis, and the usual things like dust and cold triggers really affect me. Usually, it wasn't a big deal, but since I hit 31, especially during the pandemic, the shortness of breath has gotten worse. I was using SEROFLO 250 now and then, but it never seemed serious until I got COVID-19 in early 2022. My breathing issues got really bad, so I used SEROFLO more often and for consecutive days. Now Im facing something scaryevery time I use SEROFLO, I get severe dizziness, heart palpitations, sleep problems, increased shortness of breath, and theres pain in my left arm. Im super anxious if these are signs of a heart issue. Do you think the SEROFLO is causing these symptoms or could this be something else like a heart problem? What should I do?

do chest xray
