I've been struggling with chest congestion and breathing problems, especially at night, and it's been going on for about 3 years now. Lately, it feels like I'm getting affected more frequently. I also have this persistent coughing. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

What's happening when someone with pneumonia has fluid filling up in their lungs? Is being on a ventilator common for this kind of breathing problem? How serious is it?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

What are the 4 types of hypoxia?

The four types are as follows: (1) the hypoxemic type, in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the hemoglobin. (2) the anemic type, in which the amount of functional hemoglobin is too small, and hence the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen is too low. (3) the stagnant type, in which the blood is or may be normal but the flow of blood to the tissues is reduced or unevenly distributed. (4) the histotoxic type, in which the tissue cells are poisoned and are therefore unable to make proper use of oxygen.
