I've been working out for the past couple of weeks, mainly doing pushups every evening, around 100 in 3 sets. But now I've started having this odd sensation where I struggle with breathing and swallowing when I'm having dinner. It's been going on for about three days. The feeling does go away after a while, but I'm worried. Could it have something to do with my chest muscles tightening from the pushups? I don't have asthma or anything like that. What do you think might be causing this?

I've been having fevers off and on and it's been accompanied by weakness, body aches, and shortness of breath. Sometimes my eyes get really itchy too. When my fever hits, my throat gets sore and I have this really annoying pain in my legs, especially below the knees and around my feet. I've noticed these symptoms reduce a bit when I take the EBASIL tablets my doctor gave me. Also, I work as a civil engineer so I'm constantly around dust. Could this be affecting my symptoms? Should I be worried about what's causing all this?

wear a N95 mask if you are going out. take tablet montec lc for 7 days

Been a bit anxious about my vaccination schedule. I had a COVID infection around two months ago and just took my first Covishield shot. I'm worried because its been 68 weeks since my initial dose. Is it okay to have such a long gap between the two doses? Would love some advice on this.

I'm having a tough time with my night shifts at work, and it feels like my request to change shifts isn't being heard. I'm wondering if there's a way a doctor could provide a medical certificate to support my case. Do you think it's possible for a doctor to help me with this?
