I've been dealing with this choking sensation for almost a year now, and it really feels like I'm short of breath. I end up coughing a lot, trying to make it better, and it kind of feels like I'm going to vomit, but nothing ever comes outno vomiting, no sputum. I haven't had any fever either. I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago and everything seemed normal, and about five months ago, I had an HD Chest Scan, 2D Echo, and another X-rayall normal too. I'm taking Montek LC half a tablet at night and using an inhaler, but nothing's helping. What could this be?

I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

I've been a bit worried lately. I tested positive for COVID on May 2, 2021, and thankfully, it was a mild case with my oxygen levels staying normal. But now, two months later, I'm noticing something odd. When I'm just sitting around, my oxygen level is usually at 97 or 96, which is okay, I guess. But when I start moving around, like climbing stairs or even just taking a walk, it drops to 92 or 93. I'm wondering why this happens? Should I be concerned?
