I'm really worried about my mom who's been diagnosed with pneumonia at St. Luke's E.R. The doctor gave her medication for just 15 days, but she's still struggling with a cough that keeps her up all night and it's affecting her sleep. We're really concerned because she's not allowed to leave the house, and we want to find out if theres a different medication or treatment that might help her. Who can we reach out to for more advice? Would appreciate any guidance!

I've been experiencing this weird chest congestion and discomfort for about six months now. I went to see a cardiologist and got an echo test done, and they said my heart is fine. There's no pain coming from the heart area either. But this annoying chest pressure just keeps coming and going. It's not interfering with my daily activities, but I have been feeling more tired than usual. Breathing isn't an issue, thankfully. However, today I noticed a sore throat along with the chest congestion. There's no mucus with blood or anything alarming like that, but the discomfort is still there from my throat to my chest. Could you offer some advice on this?

I've been having breathing problems for the past couple of years. My doctor said it's bronchitis, but I'm really worried because when I try to inhale, sometimes it feels like the air just doesn't reach my lungs. I have to try four or five times to get a full breath, and lately, I've been feeling a mild chest pain along with a cough and this uncomfortable pressure in my chest that makes me anxious. It even makes my body feel cold. Could you please tell me what's going on and what kind of treatment I should look into?
