I'm from Bangladesh and I've been told I have some nodular opacity in the right lower zone of my chest. It's getting in the way of me being able to study abroad because the embassy won't approve my application with this issue. My doctor mentioned it's not actually a disease, but I'm curious if there's any way to treat this or remove the spot from my lungs. Is there anything I can do?

I've been experiencing this weird feeling during intense exercise, like when I'm cycling over 20km or running more than 5km. It feels like my lungs are filling up with some fluid, and I have trouble breathing. But if I take a break, it all clears up. Should I be worried about this? Is there something I should be doing differently?
