Hello Doctor- An old friend hugged me today. I just saw she was at a gathering of 50 people prior to the hug. She was near me for less than ten minutes. No coughing or sneezing. Should I be concerned about contracting COVID?

I've been experiencing throat tightness occasionally, difficulty swallowing, and trouble breathing, especially when it gets severe. Additionally, I've had breathing issues for the last couple of months where it feels like only 50% of the air I breathe in is being converted when breathing out. I also feel tired and have had experiences that felt like heart attacks but were related to my lungs. I've had blood tests, an X-ray, and keep my blood pressure in check, but my breathing issues persist. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I’ve been constipated for 2 months after taking two 7-day courses of antibiotics. My stool is broken up, dry, sticky, and contains large amounts of white bits. I have normal symptoms of constipation like lower back pain, abdominal pain, gas, and bloating. How long should I wait before seeing my doctor, and is there anything I can do at home to help?

I have been experiencing red mucus in my stool and occasional bleeding from hemorrhoids for the past 8 weeks. I have consulted multiple doctors, including emergency room doctors and my general practitioner, who have all diagnosed me with hemorrhoids. However, I have severe anxiety and am concerned about the possibility of a more serious condition. Should I trust the diagnosis of hemorrhoids, and what additional steps can I take to manage my symptoms and anxiety?
