I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

View allI'm really worried about my dad; he's tested positive for COVID and is having a tough time breathing. He's got an oxygen cylinder, and without it, he feels awful and almost passes out. He only seems okay when he's got the oxygen. What can we do to help him get better?
antiviral medications remdesivir

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 62 and he's been coughing up quite a lot of blood, like 300 to 500 ml. He had TB treatment about 25 years ago, and now it seems like scars in his right lung have reactivated. Theyre even suggesting he might need his right lung removed. The scan shows segmental consolidation in the right lower lobe, multiple emphysematous bullae in the right upper and lower lobes, and some pleural thickening in the lower hemithorax. What does all this mean, and what should we do next? Is removing the lung really necessary, or are there other options?
keep antibiotics on , and follow nearby pulmonologist

I'm having this on-and-off cough for a few weeks, and I'm really worried. I had an x-ray, and they saw some infection-like patches on my right lung, but my COVID test was negative. I took some meds like amoxicillin, montelukast, and clarithromycin for five days, then Allegram and Abphyllin SR for another week. The second x-ray looked okay, but I still have cough. Some days it's not so bad, but other days, I've got this chest congestion with white phlegm that's sometimes frothy, sometimes thick. My doctor wants me to keep taking Allegram and Abphyllin for three more weeks. I'm anxious about whether this is enough or if I should do more. Is using a nebulizer something I should consider?
continue as per doctor's advice
