I've been having this weird feeling at night where my chest feels tight and it's really hard to breathe. It almost feels like something's stuck in my throat. It's starting to make me worry. What could be causing this?

View allI've recently had an HRCT chest scan and it mentions bilateral minimal pleural effusion and infective etiology with a CO-RADS score of 2. Can you tell me if this is something serious or is it treatable? Also, I've had three head CT scans, two of which were done just two weeks apart back in 2018, and then another HRCT scan plus a few X-rays in 2020two for my chest and one for my throat. I'm kind of worried about whether all these scans could make me prone to cancer or cause any cell damage in the future. I'm a 27-year-old female and this is really concerning to me. What do you think?

I'm a bit worried about some health stuff and hoping you can give me a bit of clarity. I saw a pulmonologist, and they did an X-ray. The ECG was normal, but it showed pulmonary ventricular contractions. My oximeter reading was 99 for oxygen and 123 for heart rate. The doctor said I dont have any breathing problems, but I am feeling short of breath and a tight chest. Could I have COPD? What kind of oximeter reading should a COPD patient have, or when should I be concerned about my breathing? I dont have any allergies, cough, or cold. Would really appreciate some guidance here.

I'm trying to understand the difference between DOTS and ATT. Are these two distinct methods for treating extrapulmonary tuberculosis? I've heard a bit about them, but I'm not sure how they differ or which might be more suitable. Could you help clarify this for me?
DOTS is directly obseved therapy shortcourse,ATT is anti tubercular therapy.DOTS is free of cost,has fewer side-effects,and used for severe tb treatment. ATT has treatment failure and relapse and has increased side -effects compared to dots.
