I'm 20 years old and I've been having chest pain on the right side and shortness of breath for the last 15 days, especially when I breathe deeply. I'm really concerned about what this could mean and how I can recover from this. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I'm really worried because for the last couple of months I've been noticing dark blood streaks in my sputum, mostly in the morning or sometimes throughout the day. It's really concerning me, especially since I only see these streaks when I blow my nose and spit. The ENT I visited said my throat is inflamed and gave me a nasal spray and something called drez gargling. Even after seeing a pulmonologist and getting all sorts of tests like x-rays, blood tests, sputum tests, and urine tests, everything came back normal. I was given styptocid tablets and zady 250 mg for a few days, but the issue is still there. I dont even have a cough. What steps should I take next?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

I'm really curious and a bit worried because I've been having digestion issues and noticed blood in my stool. My CT scan of the whole abdomen came back normal except it showed something called subsegmental atelectasis in the posterobasal segment of my left lower lobe. I've also been experiencing shortness of breath. I consulted a pulmonologist, did an x-ray, spirometry, and Spo2, and all those tests were normal. He mentioned it might just be anxiety, and I have had anxiety for about 45 years now. I'm wondering if anxiety could really be causing these symptoms, or if there's something else I should look into?

do not worry, you are just having anxiety. relax and reduce your stress
