I'm really worried about my boyfriendhe's been experiencing shortness of breath almost every day, and now his sleep is getting disrupted by this choking cough and cold. He even catches a cold easily in the summer. It's been really rough for the past 23 days, and on top of that, he has indigestion. What can I do to help him or any advice on how we should handle this situation?

I've been dealing with some breathing issues lately, like I get short of breath and feel pain in my ribs and lungs whenever I take a deep breath. I also feel a lot more tired than usual, and it's weird because I don't really feel like eating much anymore. This has been going on for about two months now. Could this be something serious, or is it maybe just stress or something else?
