I'm having a bit of a tough time with my breathing lately and it's causing me to feel really concerned. I've been experiencing a tight feeling, almost like I'm suffocating, and it's hard to breathe normally. To make matters worse, I've been getting bad headaches around five times a week, and at night, I get these chest pains that make my breathing even more difficult. I just don't know what's going on, and it's really starting to worry me. Could you help me figure out what might be causing these issues and what I should do about it?

I've been dealing with a cough for over two weeks now. I had a similar issue with a chronic cough that lasted about two months before but improved until almost two years went by. This time, I don't have any other problems like headaches, body aches, or weaknessjust the coughing. I just got my sputum test results and they show gram-positive bacilli and gram-positive cocci in pairs and chains, with occasional pus cells. What's the best way to handle this? How worried should I be?
