Will vaccines like Covaxin and Covishield be effective against the Omicron variant? I'm also a bit worried about how much damage this variant can cause to the lungs of a healthy person. Can you shed some light on this?

I'm dealing with this constant breathlessness and I'm not sure if it's from a cold or maybe GERD. I'm having a hard time expanding my chest sometimes, and when I wake up, one of my nostrils is often blocked. Ive had an echo, ECG, TMT, and a chest X-ray done, and all are normal. Every now and then, I take theophylline, which seems to relax things, but I'm still unsure what's actually causing these issues. Could you shed some light on what might be going on?
drink warm water , aboud cold conditions and ice cream and junks
