I'm really worried about my younger brother. He's been dealing with a cough and back pain for a few weeks now. He's also having trouble breathing, and it's like it gets better for a while but then comes back. This has been going on for almost 34 weeks. What should I do?

I'm having some trouble with breathing after meals. It's like shortness of breath, and I find it hard to breathe properly. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could this be related to something I'm eating or how I'm eating? Would love your insight on this.

I'm having trouble breathing fully, like I can't completely expand my lungs or part of them isn't getting enough oxygen. I find myself waiting to yawn to feel like Im finally getting enough air. This happened last year too, and the doctor said it was stress and it went away in two weeks without any meds. This time I saw an MD pulmonary, and they did tests for thyroid, which came back fine. I'm negative for COVID, and all my lipid and liver function tests are okay. But now I'm not sure who to go to next, and the difficulty in breathing just seems to be getting worse. What could this be?

I'm having this annoying chest congestion that only seems to hit me at night. It's been a week now and it's making it really hard for me to sleep well. Could this be allergy, flu, or something more serious?

It sounds like you might be dealing with nighttime chest congestion, which could be triggered by allergies, post-nasal drip, or a mild respiratory infection like the flu. However, if it's persistent and affecting your sleep, it's best to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
