I've been dealing with a pretty bad indigestion issue. So, on June 1st, 2020, I just up and quit smoking. I was smoking about 45 cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, but I started cutting down in 2018 and finally stopped after two years. The first few months, I had headaches and an upset stomach, but recently I've had a bit of trouble breathing. When I do things like running or cardio workouts, I feel okay, but if I miss a day, I notice some shortness of breath and my throat feels tight. This has been going on for a month, and I've been feeling kinda weak, too. Is this normal, or could it be something else? I don't have any other symptoms.

I've tried everything like nebulizing and nerve injections, but nothing seems to help. It's still really tight. What else can I do or try to get some relief?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a few days now, and nothing seems to be helping. We've tried both grillinctus and coffdryl, and even a ginger molasses mix, but her cough isn't getting any better. Do you have any advice or recommendations on what might help her get some relief?
Glans Exposure and Skin Retraction Issue _Normal Variations_ 1. _Temporary exposure_: Glans exposure can occur temporarily due to sexual activity, especially if you have a foreskin that's naturally tighter. 2. _Skin retraction_: Skin retraction can take some time, especially if you're not used to frequent erections or sexual activity. _Causes for Concern_ 1. _Prolonged exposure_: If the glans remains exposed for an extended period (>24 hours). 2. _Discomfort or pain_: If you experience persistent discomfort, pain, or difficulty retracting the skin. 3. _Infection signs_: If you notice redness, swelling, increased sensitivity, or discharge. _Self-Care Measures_ 1. _Apply a topical cream_: Use a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cream or ointment to reduce friction and discomfort. 2. _Wear loose, breathable clothing_: Avoid tight clothing that can irritate the area. 3. _Maintain good hygiene_: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 4. _Avoid further irritation_: Refrain from engaging in activities that may exacerbate the issue.
