I've been having trouble with my breathing for a while now, and I'm getting worried. I'm 22, female, and I have hypothyroidism. My nose bone is a little big too. For the past year, I've been dealing with this constant heavy feeling in my chest while breathing, congestion in my nose, and chest pain. It even makes me feel a bit dizzy sometimes. Do you have any idea what could be causing this, and what I should do about it?

I'm looking at this X-ray report that mentions prominent bronchovascular markings with an infiltrative lesion. I'm kind of worried and unsure about what it all means. Can you help me understand what kind of medication might be needed for this?

I'm dealing with bronchitis for the past couple of years and I'm thinking about getting the COVID vaccine. Is it safe for me to get vaccinated given my condition? Would appreciate any insights or advice on this.

I've been a bit worried lately. I tested positive for COVID on May 2, 2021, and thankfully, it was a mild case with my oxygen levels staying normal. But now, two months later, I'm noticing something odd. When I'm just sitting around, my oxygen level is usually at 97 or 96, which is okay, I guess. But when I start moving around, like climbing stairs or even just taking a walk, it drops to 92 or 93. I'm wondering why this happens? Should I be concerned?
