Lately ive felt like ive had shortness of breath and chest pressure/pain. at times ive been coughing and some of the time that i coughed it seemed like a chest cough. could i be feeling this way because theres excess fluid in/around my lungs?

One possible condition is bronchospasm which causes the symptoms that you have described. Asthma medications may be indicated, and the triggers should be identified. Have you had COVID 19? Post COVID, there may be pulmonary and cardiac complications. A virtual consultation with Healthtap is available. Further details would be helpful. Watch for difficulty swallowing, rash and worsening.
