Lately, I have been experiencing shortness of breath, particularly after climbing stairs, bending over to put on shoes or socks, or during short walks. This has worsened in the last two weeks. I do not take any specific medication for this, but I am 72 years old, had a quad bypass 20 years ago, am overweight, have rheumatoid arthritis, experienced atrial fibrillation, the flu, and pneumonia last year, and take several medications daily. I also use a CPAP machine nightly. My wife tested negative for COVID-19 this week, but I have not been tested yet. I live in East Lyme, CT, which is in a red zone for COVID-19. Should I see my heart doctor or pulmonary doctor?

I had an unprotected sexual encounter over 4 months ago and have taken multiple HIV tests, all of which were negative.

I have reason to believe that I have reflux or GERD. My stomach and heart felt like burning, now it's mainly my stomach. I feel like it was hard for me to breathe, and my stomach has been making noises like if I was lactose intolerant and drank milk all day. My feet have also been clammy a lot lately, and this happened a few days after having COVID-19. I don't know what to do or if it's related to that. Can you help?
