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'm really worried about my sister. Shes been having chest pain and her X-ray came back showing some inhomogeneous opacity in the lower zone. It mentions something about infiltration. Could you explain what this means and what our next steps should be? What can we do to resolve this?
The X-ray report indicating inhomogeneous opacity in the lower zone with infiltration suggests a possible pulmonary infection or inflammation; next steps should include: consulting a pulmonologist or chest specialist, undergoing a CT scan or HRCT for better imaging, and getting blood tests (CBC, ESR, CRP) to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment, which may involve antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or further investigations.

I'm dealing with mediastinal lymph node TB and I was wondering about my situation. I've been through CECT and EBUS, and the size was initially 7cm x 3cm. I used to have a fever, but thankfully that's gone now. However, I'm still coughing quite a bitaround 15 to 20 times a day. I've been on treatment for three and a half months, and my doctor told me it would be an eight-month-long process. Is this typical? I'm currently abroad, so I'm trying to figure out when to repeat the CECT. We've already done it twice since we had to travel, but the size hadn't reduced two months ago. Can you give me some guidance on this?
repeat cect after 6 months
