I've been dealing with this stubborn cough for about 6 months now, and I've noticed that I also get these sharp pains in my ribs and chest sometimes, as well as my back. Lately, every time I take a deep breath, I end up coughing and wheezing, which is really concerning me. Plus, Ive been getting headaches and feeling super tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I get. My other bones are starting to feel weak and ache a lot too. Do you think I should see a doctor for these symptoms? What could be causing all of this?

Question

I'm having a really hard time with these random sudden attacks where I feel like I can't breathe. I've seen three different doctors and they all told me it's some kind of syndrome caused by stress. But honestly, I'm not sure if that's really what's going on because it just happens out of nowhere. Is it possible that it was stress-related at first and now it's something more? What should I actually get checked to figure out what's going on with these breathing issues?

Question

I've been struggling with something, and I hope you can help. About three months ago, I had pneumonia, but I'm fully cured now. However, just after we had a wash in the house a couple of weeks ago, I've developed a cough that's just not letting go. It's been tough to get any sleep because of it. Also, I'm diabetic, so I'm a bit worried about how this might affect my health. What can I do about this? Would love to hear your advice.

Question

I'm having a hard time breathing and feel like I need to open my mouth every now and then just to catch a breath. It's weird because my breathing seems normal when I'm sleeping, but it's like something's blocking my throat. I don't have a fever or body aches, but my chest feels heavy and I've got this gassy feeling too. I tried holding my breath for 30 seconds and it was fine, but I still need to take deep breaths through my mouth, and even then, it doesn't feel quite right. What could be going on?
