I've been waking up in the middle of the night feeling breathless, and sometimes this happens after I eat too. I don't get it because I have a pretty sedentary lifestyle, but so do a lot of other people, and they don't seem to deal with this. What could be causing these breathless episodes? Should I be worried?

stop spicy food , drink warm water , do pulmonary function test

I'm really worried about my dad. It's been 15 days since he got out of the hospital after having COVID-19. They told us to get a post-COVID test, and now the X-ray shows he's got hazy opacities in the mid to lower parts of both lungs. He also had pneumonia when he was dealing with COVID. Can you tell me what's going on and what we should do?

I'm curious about something that's been bothering me. Every time I laugh really hard, I end up coughing a lot. Could this have any link to feeling short of breath when I'm exerting myself? It's starting to make me worried, and I just want to understand what's going on.
