I've quit smoking about two months back, and after about a week, I started experiencing some uncomfortable symptoms like chest pain, coughing, insomnia, and really intense dreams. I also find it hard to swallow and sometimes feel short of breath. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

View allI've been dealing with a bit of a concern ever since I had COVID-19 last April. I got through it in about a week without needing to go to the hospital or taking any heavy-duty meds, but now a couple of times a day, I notice a light wheezing in my chest. It usually happens in the morning when I wake up, and to get rid of it, I end up coughing hard, which brings up a chunk of phlegm. I dont have a constant cough, only when I try to clear the wheezing. Is this normal post-COVID, or should I be worried about it?
Syrup salbutamol 10 ml orally thrice daily is advised to the patient.

I'm having some serious trouble with my breathing lately, and I've been feeling a lot of pain around my rib cage. Plus, there's this persistent cough and it seems like there's stuff building up in my chest. Could this be something like COPD, and what should I be doing about it?
do chest x ray and review further

My dad has been dealing with COPD and asthma for the past decade, and now hes got to use oxygen at home around the clock. Were using a cylinder with the supply kept at point 1, but Im wondering if switching to an oxygen concentrator would be a good idea. Would an oxygen concentrator be enough for his needs, or should we stick with the cylinder?
yes you can use, make sure oxygen saturation is maintained
