I'm starting to feel concerned because I keep getting this urge to take deep breaths every now and then, but I'm breathing normally in between. It's been happening for about 15 days now, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

I've been struggling with something, and I hope you can help. About three months ago, I had pneumonia, but I'm fully cured now. However, just after we had a wash in the house a couple of weeks ago, I've developed a cough that's just not letting go. It's been tough to get any sleep because of it. Also, I'm diabetic, so I'm a bit worried about how this might affect my health. What can I do about this? Would love to hear your advice.

I'm really concerned about my mom's recent x-ray report. It shows that both of her hila are congested. She had breast cancer about five years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy, but has been doing well since then. Now with this new x-ray showing congestion and her having some breathing problems, I'm pretty worried. Can you help me understand what this might mean?
