I'm really struggling with shortness of breath and it's been about a week. I saw my doctor and tried the medicine they recommended, but it didnt help much. I went back, and they switched my medication. It's a bit better now, but still not quite right. Years ago, another doctor suggested a different medicineI think it was Etiofylline theofylline, but I dont remember exactly. Do you think I can try taking that medication now?

yes you can take it , but this medicine should he taken with doctor's consultation.

I've been dealing with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and lately, I've noticed some changes. My oxygen level sticks around 96-98, which is pretty normal for me, but a month ago, I got hit with COVID. During that time, I was mostly coughing with phlegm and felt really tired, but not much else. Now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm still feeling really worn out. I'm having a dry cough about 6-7 times a day, which never happened to me before, and my chest hurts a bit when I yawn. Plus, I've started feeling a bit of difficulty in breathing that lasts for 3-5 seconds. I used to be perfectly fine before all this. Any idea what's going on?

Do chest x ray and review for further and aslo start regular exercises
