I've been having these really scary moments just before I fall asleep where I stop breathing and wake up in like a full-on adrenaline rush. It's happening a lot, like 15 to 20 times back-to-back. I thought it was obstructive sleep apnea, so I tried using a CPAP, but that didn't solve it. Then I considered it might be a stomach acid thing and tried Nexium, but nope, still happening. Do you have any ideas about what could be causing this?

I'm dealing with a constant sore throat and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. It's weird because I feel really irritated by dust. Lately, I've been getting tired easily when I exercise or even just walk. I'm 26 and there's no asthma history in my family. I had a PFT test done and it showed mild restriction and low vital capacity. What could this mean, and what might be causing it?

Do breathing exercises, drink warm water , inhale steam 5 times a day , avoid allergens

I've been dealing with a really bad cough for over 15 days now and nothing seems to help. I've tried multiple treatments but no improvement. I recently had a baby through C-section and my overall condition feels weak. Could this cough be related to my surgery or recovery? What treatment would you recommend for someone in my situation?

USE COUGH SYRUP.
