I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

So, I used to have asthma when I was a kid and had to use an inhaler, but once I hit my teenage years, I didn't have any issues, so my doctor took me off the meds. Lately, though, I've been having this wheezing thing happen after I work out. I'm kind of worried and curiousis it normal to hear wheezing after exercise, or is that something I should be concerned about?

no it is not normal, please continue your medication of asthma

I've been feeling this odd pain when I take a deep breath, almost like a sharp sensation in my chest. Sometimes, it even hurts a little when I'm not breathing deeply, which is kind of worrying. I'm trying to figure out what could be going on here. Could this be something serious, or is it something I shouldn't worry too much about? Any advice on what I should do next?

I'm experiencing frequent shortness of breath for several months now. I've always had a habit of taking deep breaths since I was a kid, but it's been feeling more uncomfortable lately. I mostly have a sedentary lifestyle because I'm working from home. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

check your hemoglobin, start doing exercises
