I'm having some trouble with taking deep breaths and sometimes I feel like I'm suffocating. My heart rate's also been higher than usual, and this has been going on for over 3 years. What could be going on with me? Should I be worried about this?

Question

Hey, my mom's 45 and she's had TB twice, in 2013 and 2014. She followed the anti-TB schedule, but her coughing just won't stop, and she gets colds super easily. She's been feeling pretty unwell, especially after bleeding episodes, which have happened four times. Sometimes it's a lot of blood, other times, just a bit. We got an X-ray done and visited a doctor who said there's nothing to worry about, but I'm still really concerned. The doctor prescribed some pneumonia meds, but I'm anxious to know how long it'll take for her to fully recover. Any advice or insights would be a big help.

Im a 41-year-old guy and lately, I've been really struggling with breathing. It doesn't matter if I'm just sitting, standing, talking, walking, or pretty much doing anything - it's like I'm always short of breath. A month ago, I had some pain on the left side of my chest and ended up doing a bunch of tests like ECG, Stress Echo, and a chest X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm really puzzled and kind of worried. Why do you think I might be feeling this way?
