Ive been dealing with chronic bronchitis and it's really been affecting my sleepI can barely get a good night's rest with the insomnia. Plus, I've been having chest congestion, indigestion, and even some internal bleeding. It's getting to the point where I need more and more oxygen, and I'm finding myself having to take big breaths through my mouth. Do you have any suggestions or info on how to manage these symptoms better? I'm getting pretty worried about my health.

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've had this persistent cough for about two weeks now and I've been trying different cough syrups. I started with Benadryl, but it didn't really seem to help. Then, my doctor suggested I try BroZedex, which gave me some relief, but it wasn't perfect. I also used Gokof by Fizikem, which made it a bit better, but the cough is still hanging on. What else can I try to get rid of this cough?

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. I had mild to moderate pneumonia from COVID last month, and I tested negative after 23 days. My CT value at that time was 7 by 25. Right now, I'm just taking Perfitab. But whenever I skip the meds, I get this really annoying burning or itching feeling in the middle of my chest, and it only seems to happen when I'm resting. I don't have a cough or any breathlessness, so I'm confused. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be lung fibrosis or something else?
