I've been having some breathing issues and lung pain ever since I got the covid vaccine. I tried taking medicine for bronchitis, but it didn't fully help. Then I saw a gastroenterologist and started on medication for acid reflux. After my second vaccine dose, my breathing problems got really bad again. It's been about three months of taking meds now, but I'm still struggling. I've never had covid before. What should I do next?

I'm dealing with some breathing issues over the last couple of months. I've tried ECG and echo tests, and I've been taking gastritis tablets every day. My oxygen levels seem fine, like 99 on the oximeter, but the doctors keep saying it's nothing. But I constantly feel like I'm struggling to breathe, like air isn't coming in right through my nose, and there's this pressure in my chest making it hard to breathe properly. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
take steam inhalation
