I've been having some breathing issues for the past couple of years and it started when I was told I had a deviated septum. I even had surgery, but it didn't really help. The doctors back then suggested it might just be in my head. So I went to a chest specialist, and they mentioned it could be an allergy or mild allergic asthma. They put me on VilorF, but my breathing issues haven't gone away, especially when I'm sleeping. I can't lie on my right side or on my back, only on one side, which is tough. They also added Pantosec D to my routine, which I've been taking each morning on an empty stomach for 6 months now. Thing is, I've come down with a fever and had a really bad cough for a couple of days, and though the fever's gone, I'm struggling again with breathing since last evening. There's a kind of tightness in my chest and it's been really tough. I took the salbutamol inhaler once this morning, but I'm not sure what I should do next. Could this be related to the asthma or something else? Any advice would be super helpful.

My brother was dealing with tuberculosis, and he finished his medication a few months back. But now, he's having this pain in his lungs, especially when he yawns, takes deep breaths, or sneezes. This started after he completed the medication course, and it's got me a bit concerned. It's been three months since he stopped the treatment. Any idea what could be causing this?

I'm having this weird struggle with breathing, almost like I'm suffocating. It feels like my lungs aren't getting enough air. I haven't had any fever or cough, but it's been going on for a week now. My pulse is usually kind of fast, around 90. Is there any way to fix this?
