I've been dealing with a cough that I had a couple of months ago, and while it seems to be gone now, I'm still having trouble with persistent mucus. Recently, I've started feeling some chest tightness and alternating mild to moderate pain. Just a few days ago, my throat was also bothering me. I'm really concerned about what's causing all these symptoms, especially during this lockdown. Any advice on what I should do?

View allI've been experiencing shortness of breath for about 23 months now. When I talk for a while or have a conversation, I start struggling to breathe and sometimes get a pain in the middle of my chest. On occasion, I deal with a dry cough and my throat dries out. I even find it uncomfortable to wear tight clothing because it feels restrictive. Breathing sometimes causes pain in my back or chest. Last month, I had a stomach infection and took antibiotics for it. I saw a doctor who mentioned that these might be early asthma symptoms and prescribed Livolin, but it hasn't really helped. My chest X-ray was clear, but my lung function test showed its a bit off. What should I do now?
spirometry, methacholine challenge test

My mom's been on atorva for the past couple of years, but she's recently started having this weird dry cough that we can't really explain. Could this be a side effect of atorva? I've read that it might lead to interstitial lung disease or something like that. She's 53, by the way. Could that be related?
