I've been having some trouble with my breathing lately. It's like I can't breathe properly, even when I'm just sitting or going about my day-to-day stuff. Sometimes I feel this tightness in my chest, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Can you help me understand what might be going on? I'm a bit worried.

I'm experiencing some issues that started last night and I'm a bit worried. My Spo2 levels fluctuate between 97 and 98, but they dip to 95 or 96 if I lie down at a certain angle. I've also been dealing with gastric problems and a heavy chest. Whenever I take a deep breath, it triggers a cough. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been having. I've had a productive cough and breathing issues for about a month. The doctor told me it was bronchitis and gave me medication like LezineM and Levoflox, which helped a lot, but now that I'm done with the treatment, the breathing issues are creeping back a bit. Also, I've noticed the lower part of my throat moves in and out when I breathe. My chest X-ray and blood work came back normal, and while I'm not coughing really hard, there's still a bit of it. Could these be signs of lung cancer?

no it cannot be a lung cancer

I've been dealing with this really persistent cough for the past month, and it gets really bad at night. It's to the point where I have trouble breathing because of the cough. Ive had an X-ray and blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why does my breathing stop at night because of the cough? What's going on?

Ecg,cardiac markers and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
