I'm struggling with breathing issues for the past three months, like I cant get a good deep breath sometimes, and it's like something is blocking me. Plus, I'm getting this tight feeling in my throat. I had a chest X-ray, but it showed nothing wrong. Could this be due to my gas problem or something else? What should I do?

I'm a bit concerned about my health after having a cold. My antigen test came back negative, and I've noticed my respiration rate is 14, and my SpO2 has dropped to 95 from 99 before the cold. Im wondering if the lower SpO2 could be related to the cold since I dont have fever or body aches. Could you give me some insight into this?

I've been dealing with this mid chest tightness and feeling breathless for about 8-9 months now. It's really uncomfortable and concerning. To make things worse, I have this constant throat mucus that seems to be coming from the back of my nose. I've tried a bunch of medications but nothing seems to really help. I'm currently on toficalm. Can you shed some light on what might be going on with me?

I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to use my rescue inhalers. I usually use Ventolin when my asthma acts up, but switch to Bricanyl when it's really bad since it has a higher dose. But then I get these side effects like a sore, irritated throat and coughing. I've tried using fewer puffs, but that doesn't seem to help with the asthma symptoms. Any advice on how to manage this better?
