I'm really worried because I feel like there's water in my lungs. It's leading to really bad chest pain and pain in my lung area. I'm also finding it really hard to breathe. Could this be something serious? What can I do about it?

I've been out of the hospital for about a month after dealing with covid pneumonia. Thankfully, my oxygen levels are looking good, and I don't have any obvious problems. But I'm wondering, how can I be sure my lungs are fully back to normal and that there's no risk of developing fibrosis?

start breathing exercises 3-5 times a day

I'm 21 and have been dealing with wheezing for the past 5 months. I've seen several doctors and they all mention it's due to mucus build-up. They prescribed me some tablets, and I've completed the course, but it's still not getting better. A few have also mentioned that I have a condition called pigeon chest, and that this could be why recovery is taking so long. I'm really tired of taking meds with no relief. What can I do to actually get better?

Physiotherapy opinion is advised.Also chest arthosis and bracing is advised to the patient.
