I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past two months and it's really getting to me. I've tried all sorts of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Why isn't this going away? What else can I do to finally get some relief?

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?

do chest xray and consult physician

COST depends on dr and hospital.

I've had COVID twice, once in September 2020 and again in April 2021. Since then, I've been feeling quite breathless. I'm worried if there might be any underlying disease causing this or if this is just a common after-effect of the virus. Can you help me understand what's going on?
