Ive been having this weird shortness of breath lately, and its causing me to yawn a lot. I do feel a bit better after yawning, but its been going on for a really long time. I think its related to my allergies, probably from dust and pollution. Any advice on what I can do to get some relief?

I'm really worried about this cough I've been having. After doing cardio exercise, I start coughing really badly and spit out really dark mucus, and sometimes there's even a tiny bit of blood in it. The blood only comes once, but it freaks me out. This happens for about 15 to 20 minutes after my workout, and the coughs feel super deep. The deeper they get, the more black the mucus is, and occasionally, I get this really sharp pain right in the middle of my chest. This has been going on for the last three months. I do smoke around 45 cigarettes a day and have been for the last seven years. I did get a recent medical check-up, and my ECG and chest X-ray came back normal, so I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?

It sounds like your symptoms could be related to irritation in your airways from smoking, which may cause inflammation and coughing with mucus. While your ECG and X-ray are normal, I strongly recommend seeing a doctor for further evaluation, possibly including lung function tests, to rule out any underlying conditions like bronchitis or early-stage COPD. Cutting back or quitting smoking will be crucial for your health.

I've been non-stop coughing for three days now and the longest I can go without coughing is just a minute or two. There's a lot of phlegm and it's painful when I take deep breaths. I've already tried using my rescue inhaler and the nebulizer, but I'm still coughing a lot and wheezing. What could be going on, and what else can I do?

continue nebulization and take cough syrup ascoril twice a day

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now, and I'm really concerned. So, I had a fever for nearly two weeks starting around mid-April, and the highest it got was 103.5 degrees. It seemed like COVID since I had symptoms like loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, weakness, and a persistent headache, but my COVID tests came back negative. I ended up in the hospital for a day and a half, and after getting some treatment, my fever went away. But I still can't catch a deep breath; I get winded easily, even with minimal activity. It's been about a month since I was discharged from the hospital, and this issue hasn't improved. What kind of doctor should I see, and what steps can I take to address this? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

do covid test once again and start amoxclav tab for 5 days for secondary infections
