I'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?

View allI've been having trouble breathing for more than two months now, especially when I laugh or talk, and it feels like I'm out of breath easily. I went through an X-ray and a cardiac check, and both seem to be normal, but I'm still not sure what's causing it. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a form of anxiety or stress-related breathing difficulty, especially since both your X-ray and cardiac check are normal. It could also be related to muscle tension in the chest or diaphragm. I recommend consulting a respiratory specialist or considering breathing exercises to help manage this.

I'm dealing with asthma and have been using a Levolin inhaler, but Im really looking for a more permanent solution. Is there something I can try or consider that might help in managing or perhaps even curing my asthma over the long term?
Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I'm having trouble breathing properly; I can only breathe through my mouth, especially when I'm lying down. I've done a COVID antigen test, and it was negative, but I'm still waiting on the RT-PCR results. The only symptoms I'm dealing with are leg pain and this breathing issue. My oximeter readings have been quite unstable, usually above 92 or 93, but sometimes dropping fastfrom 100 to 92. This morning, the reading on my left thumb was as low as 89 or 90, while other fingers showed 92 or 93. I don't have any other COVID symptoms, so I'm really worried about what's going on. Could you please tell me what I should do?
