I've been having some uncomfortable breathing when I sleep. It feels like theres something blocking my throat, and it's really hard to breathe when I'm lying down. What could be causing this?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 68 and has been having this pain in her lower breast and rib area. Her CECT chest scan says it's likely COVID pneumonia, but the RTPCR test came back negative. Her CTSI score is 325, and she's got a mild cough, but no fever. Could this still be COVID? What should I do next?

take tab paracetamol, tab acetylcysteine, tab multivitamin and take syrup salbutamol

I've been having some health issues that are worrying me. Last year, I had TB and got it sorted out with a CT scan. The main symptoms were blood in my sputum and nose. I finished my 6-month treatment in June 2022, but these past 3 months, I've been having this pain on the right side of my chest. The X-rays are coming back normal, but when I take deep breaths, that pain is still there. And for the last 5-10 days, whenever I do yoga or deep breathing exercises, a bit of blood comes from my right nostril. What do you think could be going on?

I've been dealing with COVID for about a month now, and thankfully, it was mostly asymptomatic at the start. Lately though, I've been feeling this chest tightness or burning sensation, mainly in the evenings. Is this a normal thing to experience after having COVID, and what should I be doing about it?
