I'm wondering if the muscles in my upper back are affecting my breathing. When I lean against the wall near my bed, I feel like I'm gasping for air, and my upper back muscles get really tight. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you shed some light on this? What should I do about it?

View allI've recently quit smoking and I'm really concerned about how to naturally cleanse my lungs from all that tar buildup. Also, I'm curious about which vitamins and minerals are best for keeping my lungs healthy now. Can you offer any advice?
To naturally remove tar from lungs after quitting smoking, try steam inhalation, drink plenty of water, eat antioxidant-rich foods like leafy greens, berries, and other fruits, and consider supplements like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Omega-3 fatty acids; also, incorporate lung-friendly minerals like Magnesium, Potassium, and Selenium into your diet, and practice yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to promote healthy lung function.

I've been dealing with COPD and I'm currently on MontekAB, Esiflo250, and Tiate inhaler. I tested negative for COVID on June 5th, but lately I've had a runny nose and sneezing a lot. After taking Sinarest three times a day, the sneezing stopped, but then I started coughing. It feels like there's something stuck in my chest and my oxygen level has dropped to 90. I'm really worried and could use some advice. What should I do next?
Continue same treatment.
