I've been dealing with a bit of a concern ever since I had COVID-19 last April. I got through it in about a week without needing to go to the hospital or taking any heavy-duty meds, but now a couple of times a day, I notice a light wheezing in my chest. It usually happens in the morning when I wake up, and to get rid of it, I end up coughing hard, which brings up a chunk of phlegm. I dont have a constant cough, only when I try to clear the wheezing. Is this normal post-COVID, or should I be worried about it?

View allAfter being on tuberculosis treatment for 2.5 months, I've started coughing up blood. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
After 2.5 months of TB treatment, blood coming from the mouth after coughing could be a sign of a serious complication known as hemoptysis. This can occur due to damage to the lungs caused by the TB infection. It is important to address this issue promptly. I would recommend you to consult your healthcare provider immediately for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, continue with your TB treatment as prescribed. Your doctor may consider adjusting your treatment regimen or providing additional medications to help control the bleeding.

I'm a bit worried about these sharp shooting pains and heaviness in my chest. I also get really out of breath and start coughing even with just a bit of dust or smoke around. And if I try to talk while walking, I end up breathing heavily. Do you think you could help me figure out why I'm having these breathing issues? I'm a 25-year-old woman with a young child, and I've had two C-sections.
