I've been dealing with shortness of breath for the past year, and it's getting worse lately. It's gotten to the point where I'm out of breath just walking around my house. What could be causing this, and is it something I should be worried about?

I'm reviewing the HRCT thorax report and noticed a few lymph nodes in the paratracheal region and some fibrotic opacity in the lateral basal segment of the right lower lobe of the lungs. Should I be concerned? Is this a normal finding?

it is not normal , consult near by physician

I'm wondering if it's common for someone with TB on medication to have trouble breathing, feel chest tightness, or experience restlessness at times. I've also been diagnosed with LRTI and had a tuberculous pleural effusion that was drained. The doctors mentioned something about possibly having sarcoidosis too, and I'm a bit worried. Is this something that can happen?

yes

I've been feeling short of breath for quite a while now, and honestly, it's starting to worry me. I had a chest X-ray and a CT scan, and both came back normal, but I'm still having trouble catching my breath. And now there's this chest pain whenever I try to move around. I'm just not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .
