I've been dealing with this stubborn cough for about 6 months now, and I've noticed that I also get these sharp pains in my ribs and chest sometimes, as well as my back. Lately, every time I take a deep breath, I end up coughing and wheezing, which is really concerning me. Plus, Ive been getting headaches and feeling super tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I get. My other bones are starting to feel weak and ache a lot too. Do you think I should see a doctor for these symptoms? What could be causing all of this?

I smoke a little, just about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day, and sometimes I also smoke marijuana. The last time I smoked marijuana, my throat started choking and it hurt a bit. While the pain has stopped, I still feel a bit of chokiness. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

I've been having trouble with my breathing lately, constantly feeling like I need to take deep breaths and yawning all the time. Even small exercises leave me feeling really tired, and I've been dealing with anxiety too. It's getting hard to focus on my studies because of all this. What could be causing these symptoms, and how can I manage them?

It sounds like your symptoms might be linked to anxiety, which can cause shallow breathing, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Practicing deep breathing exercises, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, and seeking help from a mental health professional could greatly improve your condition.

I've been noticing that ever since 2018, whenever I have my first spit in the morning, there's been a little blood in it. It's been happening for a couple of years now. Sometimes it's just a tiny amount and other times a bit more. I went for a full health check-up in October 2019, and my chest X-ray came back normal, so now I'm wondering, could this be a sign of something serious?

Could be due to Gerd and reflux. Need more detail history from you
