I've been coughing up a little bit of blood in the mornings for the last few weeks and also noticed some blood in my left nostril. I got a chest x-ray and PNS x-ray done, and they came back normal. My CBC and ESR are also normal. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something minor? What should I do next?

I'm really worried about my dad. Even though he tested negative for COVID three weeks after testing positive, he's not feeling better. He's having a lot of trouble breathing, can't get enough oxygen, has a fever, and has chest pain. Could this still be related to COVID, and what can we do to help him?

I've been struggling with this persistent dry cough for about three months now, and it seems to be getting worse. Sometimes I also experience a blocked nose for around 30 minutes, during which the cough stops, but once the cold goes away, the dry cough comes back. Also, I notice that when I cough, I sweat a lot, and if I talk too much, it triggers the cough too. Can you help me figure out whats going on and what I should do about it?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm having trouble taking deep breaths lately. Sometimes I can manage it, but I mostly end up breathing through my mouth. This has been going on for about three weeks. I used to have other issues like stiffness in my fingers in the morning and pain in my right shoulder and upper arm, but those have either gone away or are getting better. I had a blood test back in January that showed high ESR and low platelets, but I feel okay now except for the deep breathing issue. What could be causing this?
