I'm feeling really suffocated and it's pretty uncomfortable when I breathe. It seems to take quite a bit of effort. I'm also dealing with anxiety and have had anxiety attacks quite a few times. Could these breathing issues be related to my anxiety, or do you think it might be something else? What should I do next?

I've been dealing with COPD and I'm having trouble with my breathing. I'm wondering if it's better for me to use a BiPAP machine with oxygen or should I switch to a BiPAP AVAPS? What's the difference and which one might be more helpful in my situation? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

Bipap is advised to the patient.Pulmonologist opinion is advised.

I've recently been diagnosed with COVID-19 and while the fever, diarrhea, and vomiting are gone, I'm really worried about some new symptoms. I'm dealing with severe chest pain, chest tightness, and breathing problems. Right now, I'm on mechanical oxygen support at home. My PT and D-Dimer plasma levels are pretty high, and there's a concern about pulmonary embolism. I've been having excessive sweating for the past two months, leg cramps, and some occasional swelling, which is concerning me even more. My chest X-ray came back clear, but I read that X-rays might not always catch a pulmonary embolism. Could you tell me what I should do next and what would the treatment be if it is a pulmonary embolism?

I've been dealing with bronchitis and it's really getting to me. Every time I see a doctor, it seems to help a little but then in just a week, I'm back to having a cough and feeling breathless again. It's really taking a toll on me. What could be causing these recurring symptoms? Is there something else I should be doing or asking my doctor about?
