I've been feeling this sharp, quick pain whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been happening for about 12 days now. There's no external pain or anything that I can see, but it's been persistent. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm wondering why I sometimes have a whistling sound when I breathe and why people say I breathe heavily. I've always struggled to control my breathing, even during yoga, and I get out of breath when climbing stairs. People often say it's because I'm overweight, but even when I wasn't, I still had these breathing issues. Could there be another reason for this?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .

I'm having this annoying chest congestion that only seems to hit me at night. It's been a week now and it's making it really hard for me to sleep well. Could this be allergy, flu, or something more serious?

It sounds like you might be dealing with nighttime chest congestion, which could be triggered by allergies, post-nasal drip, or a mild respiratory infection like the flu. However, if it's persistent and affecting your sleep, it's best to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm a bit worried about my husband. He had covid and got over it by April 14th, but his tests showed minimal lung fibrosis. Since then, he's taken steroids for five days and used a symbicort inhaler for a month. His CRP and D-dimer levels are normal, and his oxygen levels have been fine even during the covid infection. He doesn't have any breathing issues or cough and can do normal physical activities without any problems. The doctor mentioned it might clear up in 6 to 8 weeks, but I'm anxious to know if we should do more tests to confirm if the fibrosis is gone or if we're doing okay just watching and waiting. What do you think?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
