I've been feeling really unwell since May. It started with mild pain in the upper center of my chest, then turned into a high fever. By the 17th, I lost my taste and smell. Soon after, I noticed mild chest pain right in the center along with shortness of breath, but these weren't everyday occurrences. Strangely enough, these symptoms appeared again about 34 days later, and now they're back from June 23. This time, the pain has shifted a bit to the left and I'm having trouble breathing. Is this something serious? Could you please give me some advice?

Question

I'm really worried about starting to use a revoliser. My parents keep telling me it's something I'll have to use for the rest of my life, which makes me hesitant to start it even though it's been prescribed to me. They're big believers in Ayurveda, and I wonder if that might be a better option for me. Will I really have to rely on a revoliser forever? Could it become something I get addicted to? Would love some clarity on this.

Question

I've been a smoker for 6 years, but I quit cold turkey about 9 months ago. I'm really curious, are my lungs as healthy as someone who never smoked at all?

Question

I'm really worried about my grandfather who was just admitted because of breathing problems. They put him on a ventilator, and I'm wondering if that's safe. Also, what are the chances of him pulling through after being on a ventilator? They did some treatment to clear out his mucus as well. Can you give me an idea of his survival chances?
