I'm experiencing shortness of breath even though my chest X-ray and ECG came back normal. Could anxiety be causing this, or should I be worried about something else? What might be the issue?

I've been dealing with a dry and cold cough for the past week, and it's really starting to worry me. My doctor prescribed azikem 500, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to take. Is this medication typically recommended for these symptoms, or should I be considering something else? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of while taking this?

I'm really worried because about six months ago, I had a medical test for a job in the Gulf and they said I was unfit. They found an opacity in the mid-zone on the right side of my chest. I'm trying to understand what this means and if there's any medical treatment I can do to handle this issue. Could you please help me with some advice on what steps I should take?
