Chest & Breathing Problems
Sore throat, chest pain and fever
I'm having 101° fever since last night along with chest pain in left side near heart. Also alot of pain in throat. I went to a hospital. I was given medical treatment from IV.. but then I started getting pain in chest near heart and stomach. I also had gastritis along with it. Like vomiting,lose motions too and I can't digest the medicines too. Is it something serious related to heart? What's the cure ?

FENO value 34 and HARDNESS in breathing
I have had this hard and tightness in breathing for more than six months. My PFT is fine but FENO is 34. I've been using symbicoart 160 for the last 2 Months. The improvement is very minimal. It really makes me uncomfortable. It always feels like I have a life-threatening issue and my confidence level is becoming very low.

I am having cough since last 4/5 days, along with it I feel short of breath when I lie down.
My nostrils become dry and feel like choked, even gasping air through mouth is not giving much of a relief.
But once I get up and keep my chin-up the issue subsides. Can you plz let me know what has happened.
