Do you mean something like...

I have been having a problem with my computer?

Simple alternatives are

  • Llevar + gerundio ---> llevo teniendo un problema....
  • Simple present + hace ----> tengo un problema hace (tiempo).....

I recommend that you put the whole sentence down because it's very likely that Spanish would use a very different pattern than "he estado teniendo" for whatever it is you're trying to say.

For instance, "Lately, I have been having nightmares" would probably be stated in the simple present...something like "Últimamente tengo pesadillas."

Yo he estado teniendo...Not very commonly used in Spanish though!

l'ld use the second one because, the first uses ser and that is supposed to be the progressive tense in the past which uses estar, and the third one means l've had. wink
