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 dealing with central sleep apnea and my oxygen levels are pretty low, even with using a CPAP machine every day. It's only around 70. Could you suggest any treatments that might help with this? I'm really concerned about my health.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She's 32, doesn't smoke, and has had this persistent dry cough for almost a month now. It's like clockworkevery 30 minutes, and the coughing lasts about 4 to 5 seconds. We've already seen a pulmonary specialist. The first time, he prescribed some antibiotics, and then after two weeks, they did an X-ray, which came back normal. The doctor switched up the meds after that. It got slightly better for a bit, but for the last 4 days, the cough has returned, especially when she's lying down. I'm attaching the last prescription we received for reference. Right now, she's only using an inhaler twice a day as the rest of the medication course has ended. Could you give us any advice on what might be happening or what we should do next?
