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'm a bit worried about my husband. He had a viral fever, cough, and weakness. Thankfully, his fever's gone, and his weakness has improved, but he still has this cough. When he coughs, he struggles with shortness of breath, and even when he tries to take deep breaths, it triggers his cough. He's currently on Gudcef 200 and Windose tablets, as prescribed by the doctor. Any advice on how we should handle this situation?

I've been dealing with pneumonia for a couple of weeks now and I'm on antibiotics, but I've got this almost constant chest pain that makes it tough to sleep. My temperature is not extremely high, like around 37.2C, but what's really bothering me is this annoying, painful ache in the area around my heart. I know pneumonia can be serious and it's normal to feel unwell, but the ongoing chest and heart pain has me worried. I haven't seen anyone else mention these symptomsare they something I should be concerned about, or are they normal with pneumonia?

Tab azithromycin 500mg orally ,once daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.
