I've been dealing with this really persistent cough for the past month, and it gets really bad at night. It's to the point where I have trouble breathing because of the cough. Ive had an X-ray and blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why does my breathing stop at night because of the cough? What's going on?

I've recently been diagnosed with COVID-19 and while the fever, diarrhea, and vomiting are gone, I'm really worried about some new symptoms. I'm dealing with severe chest pain, chest tightness, and breathing problems. Right now, I'm on mechanical oxygen support at home. My PT and D-Dimer plasma levels are pretty high, and there's a concern about pulmonary embolism. I've been having excessive sweating for the past two months, leg cramps, and some occasional swelling, which is concerning me even more. My chest X-ray came back clear, but I read that X-rays might not always catch a pulmonary embolism. Could you tell me what I should do next and what would the treatment be if it is a pulmonary embolism?

I'm really having trouble breathing easily, even though I don't have asthma. It's like there's this hard mucus or phlegm stuck in my chest or lungs that's blocking the air. And every time I breathe, I make this whistling sound. Could you suggest some medicine for this?
