I've been having this wheezing sound when I breathe for about a week now. I went to the doctor and got some medicine, but the problem hasn't gone away. Do you think I should be worried? Could there be something the doctor missed, or might there be another treatment I should try?

I'm really concerned and was wondering how much oxygen someone with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis typically needs? Can you explain the process and what signs to watch for when oxygen might be necessary? Appreciate any insights you can share.

I'm having trouble breathing properly, especially taking deep breaths. I've been using doxophylline 650mg sr, but I feel pain in the right side of my chest when I breathe. Sometimes I even have to hold my chest just to manage it. I've tried anxiety meds and something for a chest infection, but I'm still worried. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

So, all my lung and chest reports came back normal, but I'm still experiencing shortness of breath. Could there be any reason for this? I had asymptomatic COVID, but it's been a while since I recovered. Why might this be happening?
