Question

I've been experiencing this sharp pain in my chest when I take a really deep breath, and it's kind of worrying me. What's weird is that sometimes at night, the pain shows up even when I'm not breathing deeply. It's pretty painful, and I'm just wondering what might be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it just some kind of normal thing that happens?

Question

I'm wondering why I've been needing to take deep breaths every 5 to 10 minutes over the past 5 days. My x-ray and ECG came back normal, so I'm really puzzled. It's starting to affect my ability to focus at work, though I don't seem to have any issues at night. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to stop this?

Question

I recently got my chest x-ray report and it mentions some unclear haziness in the left cardiophrenic angle region and a prominent epicardiac fat pad, along with patchy infiltration. The rest of the lung fields look clear, and the cardio thoracic ratio is normal. But it also mentions that both hila are prominent and my bony thorax shows no significant abnormality. The domes of my diaphragm are well outlined. Theyve advised clinical correlation and I'm not entirely sure what all this means. Should I be worried about these findings, especially the haziness and the prominent hila? What steps should I take next?

Question

I'm curious and a bit worried about something. Whenever I drink liquids, I start coughing and feel a wet sensation in my oxygen pipe. Could this be a sign of something I should be concerned about?
