I'm having some trouble with shortness of breath and a watery mouth for the past three days. I've tried taking cetirizine and sinarest, but they don't seem to be helping. Any ideas on what might be going on or what I should do next?

I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath, and it seems to come out of nowhere but then just disappears after a little while. Could this be a sign of asthma or something else I should be worried about?

Sudden shortness of breath that resolves on its own could be related to asthma, but it can also be caused by other conditions like anxiety, panic attacks, or cardiac issues, so it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a pulmonologist or an allergist, for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He keeps experiencing these sudden moments where he loses his breath for like a second while he's asleep. Could this be something serious? Should we be looking into this further?

I've been around a lot of TB patients lately, and with them coughing near me, I'm starting to worry. Is there anything I should do or any medicine I can take to prevent getting exposed or infected again? I've already had TB two years ago, so I'm concerned because my immune system might still be compromised. What do you suggest?

wear mask if you are in that environment, repeat chest xray
