Hi I am an overweight female age 51 who is experiencing worsening pain in all joints especially knees and I have developed a cough that occurs if I breathe deeply or talk a lot. My chest feels congested and I can t seem to draw in sufficient O2. I can breathe, but in short breaths to avoid the cough. What say you?
