I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

My dad has been smoking for the past 20 years, and now he's dealing with breathing issues. I'm wondering if there's any medical treatment or process that can help clear his lungs and improve his condition, besides the regular medicines? He has cut down on smoking, but the breathing problems are still there. What options do we have?

Ive been having chest pain for a few days now and Im really worried. I want to find out how much TB and COVID have affected my chest. Should I just get an HRCT scan to check for both or is there another specific scan I need to do?

I've been experiencing this slight breathlessness for the past few days, like I constantly need to take deep breaths every few seconds. Occasionally, there's also a mild pain in my chest. I saw a local doctor who thinks it might be Air Hunger, maybe from exertion or anxiety, and he suggested I try some energy boosters. I'm a little worried it might be something more serious. Should I be more concerned or is this something not too serious?

do ECG AND CHEST X RAY to rule out serious issues
