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?

I'm really worried about my wife's health. A couple of days ago, she started having severe pain and then found it hard to breathe, so we rushed to the closest hospital. Her breathing was really limited, maybe only happening every 10 to 15 seconds. The doctors there suggested we head to a larger hospital right away. It felt like we were about to lose her, but thankfully, once they gave her oxygen, she began to breathe normally within a few minutes. However, her pain continued for nearly an hour afterward. They ran some tests like x-rays, ultrasound, CBC, and lipase, and everything came back normal, so they let her go. But then the following night, she had a similar breathing issue, though she seemed fine after about 5 minutes. The same thing happened again this morning. I'm starting to get really concerned. Is this something serious that we should be worried about? She also forgets things quickly, sometimes shakes, and looks shocked when we wake her up from sleep. Could there be some psychological issues at play here too? I'm at a loss because she was never like this before, not even during COVID, and she doesn't have asthma. I'm really eager to know what's going on with her breathing issues. Any insight would be really helpful.

I'm dealing with a bit of a dry cough for a while now, and it feels like it's from some throat irritation. It's been going on for about 50 days, and I'm also having slight trouble with my breathing. I went to see an ENT specialist, and he mentioned it's just acidity, but I haven't had any stomach burning at all. It feels more like something's really bothering my throat, and that's why the dry cough is there. What could be going on here? Can you help figure this out?

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with constant colds, coughs, and I've just been feeling so weak and tired all the time. Sometimes I have trouble breathing, and I've noticed that I get chest pain regularly. Traveling seems to make things worse as I often get sick after. Even a bit of physical work leaves me exhausted. A doctor mentioned that 20% of my lungs aren't working properly. I'm trying to figure out if there's any effective treatment for allergic asthma and if there's any way my lungs can fully recover. Could you provide some guidance or suggestions on what I might do? I'm really hoping to hear something reassuring.
