I've been dealing with some gastric reflux issues and I've noticed this weird pattern where after a few minutes of breathing normally, I find myself needing to take a deep breath or I start yawning, but then I can't really complete the yawn. It's like it's stuck or something. Sometimes my nostrils also feel like they get blocked and I'm wondering if all these could be connected somehow? I've been using inhalers for my breathing problems, but I'm starting to feel like they might not be enough on their own. Could my weight be playing a role in this too? I'm just a bit confused and would love some advice.

View allI'm 29 and had pulmonary TB a while ago. I went through a full year of treatment. It's been about six months now, and I've started experiencing some chest pain on and off. It's really affecting my sleep because the discomfort keeps me up. I don't have a cough or fever, and my x-ray is clear. I'm really confused about what's causing this chest pain. Can you help figure out what's going on?
Hi, it's good to hear that you completed treatment for pulmonary TB. The chest pain you are experiencing could be due to post-tuberculosis pleurisy, which is inflammation of the lining of the lungs. I recommend taking Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day after meals for a few days to help reduce the inflammation and relieve the chest pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the painful area for further relief. If the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my lung for the past year. Sometimes it goes away, but other times it really hurts. I recently had an X-ray done, and it says there's a fibrotic lesion on my left upper lung. Is this something serious? What could be causing it? I'm really worried and would love some advice.
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my dad; he's tested positive for COVID and is having a tough time breathing. He's got an oxygen cylinder, and without it, he feels awful and almost passes out. He only seems okay when he's got the oxygen. What can we do to help him get better?
antiviral medications remdesivir
