Question

I've been struggling with this persistent dry cough for about three months now, and it seems to be getting worse. Sometimes I also experience a blocked nose for around 30 minutes, during which the cough stops, but once the cold goes away, the dry cough comes back. Also, I notice that when I cough, I sweat a lot, and if I talk too much, it triggers the cough too. Can you help me figure out whats going on and what I should do about it?

Question

I'm hearing a whistling sound when I breathe out, especially in the mornings. Coughing happens too, but it's pretty rare. I've been taking monticope and using an aerocort inhaler for relief when the issues kick in. Can you help me understand why this is happening and if there's anything else I should be doing about it?

Question

I've been checking my oxygen levels, and they always seem to hover around 94. That seems low compared to what I've read is normal, but I don't have any breathing issues. Just to give you a bit of background, I had a primary complex when I was 10, and a couple of years ago my pulmonary function test showed mild restriction. I don't feel asthmatic or anything, and I do breathing exercises like anulom vilom every day. My pulse rate is around 60, and I'm physically active, playing all kinds of sports without any problems. I'm a 22-year-old male and am just curious if I should be worried about the oxygen levels or if they might be connected to my past medical history. What do you think?

Question

I'm looking at my chest X-ray and I'm a bit anxious. Can you tell me if everything looks okay? How does it compare to what a normal X-ray should look like? I had COVID about 1.5 months ago and I'm just trying to make sure my recovery is on track.
