I'm struggling with breathing when I'm asleep at night. It doesn't happen during the day, though, when I take naps. I initially thought it could be because of acidity, but I've ruled that out. What could be causing this?

I've been dealing with some breathing problems lately and I'm worried. My ESR value is 70 and my WBC count is 14,000. I noticed when I used medication for a while, it seemed to help a bit, but now the issue is coming back. Are there any natural remedies or specific foods I should try? And do you have any idea why this might be happening?

I've been dealing with a breathing issue for the past three months. I can breathe fine through my nose, but when I try using my mouth, it's like I can't get a full breath, and sometimes I feel a pain in my chest. It's been worrying me. Could there be something going on with my lungs or chest that I should get checked out?
