My husband has been struggling with a dry cough ever since he recovered from COVID two months ago. We went to the doctor and they recommended using a Budamet 400 mg inhaler, but he's still coughing a lot, especially at night. It's really concerning. What could be causing this, and is there anything else we should be doing?

I've been having trouble with my breathing lately, constantly feeling like I need to take deep breaths and yawning all the time. Even small exercises leave me feeling really tired, and I've been dealing with anxiety too. It's getting hard to focus on my studies because of all this. What could be causing these symptoms, and how can I manage them?

It sounds like your symptoms might be linked to anxiety, which can cause shallow breathing, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Practicing deep breathing exercises, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, and seeking help from a mental health professional could greatly improve your condition.
