I'm really concerned about my situation. It's been about 15 days since I recovered from COVID-19, and now I'm dealing with shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, and occasional chest pain. Sometimes it even feels like there's a sharp, needle-like pain. I haven't had any investigations or tests done yet. Could you advise me on what I should do next and which type of doctor I should consult? I'm a bit worried and could really use your guidance.

I've been experiencing some late-night wheezing that lasts for a bit. It usually gets better after I use ginger honey, but I'm curious about what's causing it. I don't have a history of asthma, although my sister does. Could there be a connection? Should I be worried about this?

I'm hearing this weird noise when I breathe in and out, and it seems to be coming from my lower lungs under the ribcage. A couple of days ago, it was more at the back, but now it's shifted to right under the ribcage in front. Should I be concerned about this, or is it common?
