I've been yawning a lot and feeling like I constantly need to take deep breaths, almost like I can't get enough air. It's really weird and a little worrying. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be related to stress or something else?

Plus, I often taste blood in my mouth. I'm a smoker and trying to quit. Do you have any idea what's going on or what kind of doctor I should see?

I recently went for a chest X-ray and PFT test because I've been having some mild breathing issues. The ECG and echo came back normal, which is a relief. However, I did have COVID about 45 weeks ago, but it was pretty mild, just a 3-day fever and cold symptoms. I took all the necessary meds as prescribed after consulting a doctor. Should I still be concerned about these breathing issues, or is it likely just leftover effects from COVID even after so long?
