I'm really concerned about this thing that's been happening to me at night. When I'm just about to fall asleep or sometimes even in the middle of the night, I'll wake up gasping for air. It's really frightening. I'm taking Olzole right now for my heartburn and gas, and I'm trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing might be sleep apnea or is it just because of my GERD acting up. It used to happen before but not as often as it does now. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm really worried and need some advice. My dad tested positive for COVID on the 17th, but I tested negative, though I've got typhoid. I'm on cefixime, arithromyzin, and mucolyte, plus I've received 6 monocef injections. Lately, I've been dealing with this frothy mucus coming out of my mouth, and my nose is completely blocked. It's making it impossible for me to sleep because my throat's full of it, and my breathing keeps stopping. Is this mucus thing something to do with typhoid, or could it be something else going on? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.

I'm a bit worried about my CT scan results. It mentions a left-sided pleural effusion extending to the infra scapular region, and there's some consolidation in the lower lung. Plus, it says something about the left dome being pulled up. Can you help me understand what all this means? Is it serious?
