I'm having trouble with my breathing and hear a hissing sound when I breathe, especially when I start running. I also feel a tightness in my chest, and I end up coughing a lot. Should I be worried about this, and is there something specific I should be doing or looking into?

Question

I'm dealing with a cold and running nose issue since I was a kid, and I found out I have asthma in 2016. I've been using that Budamate inhaler twice a day along with Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays. Originally, I used the sprays every day, twice a day, but now I only use them when my cold flares up. So here are my questions: sometimes I get a runny nose right when I wake up. Is it okay to use the Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays on an empty stomach? And can I use the inhaler on an empty stomach too? Another thing, I've been controlling my cold with Arzep, but are there any long-term effects if I keep using these nasal sprays regularly? I'm kinda worried about any side effects.

I'm back home from corona isolation because I tested positive for asymptomatic COVID-19. I've been isolating since July 28th and now I'm in home quarantine. While I was in isolation, my blood oxygen levels never dropped below 97, and I never had a fever, just a bit of tiredness. Since yesterday, I've noticed I need to take a long breath every 45 minutes, but then I'm able to breathe normally and can do pranayam exercises without a problem. After a 6-minute walk, my blood oxygen level is still 99 and I haven't felt any chest congestion or cough. I'm currently taking Pehist syrup and vitamin C tablets. The doctor at the quarantine center said I'd be fine, but I'm worried. Could this be just anxiety, or should I be concerned since I can't stop thinking about it?

Question

My mom is 65 and she's been dealing with a really bad cough for the past two months. We got an x-ray done, and the doctor said we need to do a CT scan. They found a nodule about 6.7mm by 6.2mm in the upper lobe of her right lung. It's non-calcified, and I'm really worried. Does this mean there's a high chance it could be cancer, or could it be something like bronchitis or pneumonia instead?
