I've been dealing with walking pneumonia quite a bit; it happens at least three times every year and has been like that for around eight years now. It seems to be getting worse each time and lasts longer too. I'm really worried it might be something serious like lung cancer, especially since Ive been smoking cigarettes and was exposed to a lot of secondhand smoke growing up. Is it normal to get walking pneumonia this frequently, or should I be talking to a professional about it?

I'm experiencing this pain on the backside when I take deep breaths, and it's also there, but milder, when I breathe normally. It's been going on for a while, and I'm not sure what it could mean. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that usually goes away on its own? What might be causing it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle strain or inflammation in the ribcage or intercostal muscles, which can cause pain during deep breathing. However, it's important to rule out any underlying conditions, such as lung or kidney issues. I recommend seeing a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with asthma and is on ipravent and foracort nebulizers every day. Plus, she's got allergies to some meds like the mox group and managing her BP with telma40 and cilacar 10 mg. Her creatine level is at 1.2, so she's on nefrosave. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to get the COVID vaccine. Should she go for Covishield or Covaxin, or is there something else we need to consider given her health situation?
