I'm experiencing this feeling of suffocation sometimes, and it's really hard to catch my breath. I've been gasping for some fresh air and find myself needing to breathe through my mouth a lot. What's going on here? Should I be concerned about this?

I've been dealing with chest pain since January 2017, and even though all my blood tests like CBC, LFT, KFT, ECG, and an ultrasound of the abdomen came back negative, the X-ray found an infection in my left lung. A CT scan showed that the upper left lobe has collapsed, but the bronchoscopy didn't reveal anything. My main worry is that the infection seems to be getting worse according to the X-rays. I've been taking the medicines prescribed by my doctor, like Macox Plus, Pyzinia 1000, Combutol 800, and Durapain for the past two months. I'm really concerned about whether these medicines are enough to tackle the infection and help with my situation. What else can I do or look into to improve my condition?

I got my second dose of Covishield on September 1st, 2021, and I have a provisional diagnosis of COPD. My doctor recommended I use a Triohale inhaler and a Duolin inhaler. Is it safe for me to continue using these inhalers right now, or should I wait a bit before starting them?

Patient is advised to continue triohale inhaler and duolin inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.
