Why am I still experiencing pressure when breathing despite having normal oxygen levels, blood pressure, and heart rate, after a chest scan showed mild lung inflammation from a viral infection, and while taking doxycycline, Mucinac 600, Meftal 500, and Foracort breathing treatments?
The pressure you feel is likely due to the mild lung inflammation from your recent viral infection. Even as the infection clears, inflamed airways take time to heal completely, which often causes this lingering tightness or pressure. Your medications?including doxycycline, Mucinac (acetylcysteine), Meftal (mefenamic acid), and your Foracort inhaler?are actively working to soothe this inflammation and clear mucus. Healing is a gradual process. Please continue your treatments as prescribed, rest, and stay hydrated.
