My mom has been having trouble breathing, especially when she's walking up the stairs. She's also been struggling with getting enough sleep. Who should I reach out to for advice about this?

I've been dealing with bronchitis for a few months now, and before that, I was coughing up some thick phlegm. My doctor gave me some meds, but I'm kind of worried and thinking about getting a lung function test just to be safe. Can you suggest any tests that would check lung capacity and function? What are the main tests I should consider for this? Would really appreciate your guidance.

I've been dealing with some troubling symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19 about 23 days ago. I initially experienced fever, cold, and cough, and took Paracetamol, Azithromycin, Vitamin C, and Zincovit syrup for about 6 days. I also did some Khadi steaming. But now, I'm having a persistent chest pain that's been going on for about 34 days. It hurts more when I take a deep breath. I've always had dust allergies and a wheezing problem, especially in cold climates. Thankfully, I no longer have fever, cough, or cold, and my oxygen saturation is between 95 to 97, but I'm worried because walking for more than 10 minutes is difficult. Could these chest pains be related to my previous conditions, or should I be concerned about something else?

I'm a bit concerned because about two weeks ago, I had a cough and cold, but recently, for the last 10 days or so, I've noticed a small amount of blood in my sputum in the mornings when I cough up. It's not a lot, and only happens on and off, but the blood is bright red and looks fresh. The doctor gave me some antibiotics, but the blood is still there sometimes, even though the cough itself has gone away. I sometimes just feel like I need to clear my throat. I have my X-ray report ready too, just wondering if this is something to worry about?
