I'm a bit concerned because I've never had any medical issues before, but for the last month or so, I've been getting out of breath really easily, even just walking a short distance or talking a lot. I used to be really active, going to the gym and doing cardio and weight training regularly until the end of last year. I'm curious if there's something going on with my health and what kind of remedies I should consider. Any thoughts on what might be causing this sudden breathlessness?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She tested positive for Corona about 15 days ago and was just discharged from the hospital 2 days ago after receiving a Dexamethasone injection for 5 days. Her fever is gone, but she's still having some issues like occasional cough, weakness, and chest and back pain when she coughs. How long do you think these symptoms will stick around?
for almost 2 weeks

I'm a bit concerned about this shortness of breath I keep experiencing, especially after 3 pm nearly every day. I find myself needing to take deep breaths or breathe through my mouth, and sometimes my chest hurts because of it. I've been dealing with this off and on since 2014, but it wasn't as frequent back then, and my doctor said I was fine. Now it's happening daily, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Is there something specific that could be causing this? I drink water regularly and try to stay healthy, so it's puzzling why this keeps occurring.
The recurring shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and need for deep breathing or mouth breathing, especially after 3 pm daily, may indicate underlying conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anxiety, or cardiac issues, and warrants a thorough medical evaluation, including pulmonary function tests, echocardiogram, and blood work, to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I've noticed I tend to take deep breaths pretty often. Is it normal or healthy to do so all the time? My breathing rate is about 15-16 breaths per minute. What do you think?
