I've been dealing with a cough for about a week now, and it's starting to make it hard for me to breathe. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a respiratory infection. I recommend taking Robitussin or Mucinex to help relieve your cough and improve your breathing. These medications can help loosen mucus and make coughing more productive. Additionally, you may consider using a humidifier at home to help ease your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you will need a strong course of antibiotics, for which your need to go to the hospital.

I've been experiencing this bizarre sensation latelywhenever I try to lift something heavy, my lungs start to hurt and my breathing gets all rapid. It feels like my lungs are almost trying to escape out my mouth, and it's honestly pretty scary. Could you recommend any effective medication to help with this? I'm looking for some relief and would appreciate your advice.
Experiencing pain and rapid breathing when lifting heavy objects could be related to several factors, including musculoskeletal strain, improper lifting techniques, or underlying respiratory issues. While medication can help manage symptoms, its important to identify and address the root cause. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, consider avoiding heavy lifting, using proper lifting techniques, and practicing deep breathing exercises to help manage your symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may provide temporary relief, but please consult your doctor before taking any medication.
