I'm struggling with this persistent cough that's just not going away. I tried using amlox, levofloxacin, loratidine, and even some home remedies, but it keeps coming back after a few days. It's getting really frustrating. Can you suggest what might be going on or what I should try next?

I've been dealing with wheezing for a few years now, and recently, my cough has gotten a lot worse. There are times when I really struggle to catch my breath. I've been using Levolin as prescribed, and my doctor told me to continue with it. But I'm just wondering if that's really enough? Should I be considering any additional treatments or precautions?

I'm having a really hard time with these random sudden attacks where I feel like I can't breathe. I've seen three different doctors and they all told me it's some kind of syndrome caused by stress. But honestly, I'm not sure if that's really what's going on because it just happens out of nowhere. Is it possible that it was stress-related at first and now it's something more? What should I actually get checked to figure out what's going on with these breathing issues?

I've been spitting a little bit of fresh blood from my throat at night, and I'm really worried. I'm currently on medication for COPD and my X-ray shows smoky lungs, but I've never smoked or drank alcohol. I'm not experiencing weight loss or fever, and I'm taking antibiotics and cough syrup, but I'm unsure about what's happening. The blood I spit is bright red and clears up within minutes, usually after 10 p.m. My doctor did an X-ray and some basic blood tests, but I'm concerned if this could be something serious or life-threatening. What could be going on?
