Question

I've been experiencing some random chest pain since I got over COVID back in May. It usually hits around the ribs or near my heart. I've had an ECG and echo, and even a stress echo, and everything came back fine. But now, with the colder weather, I feel this mild pain in my chest when I cough or do om pranayam, mainly in the heart area. My cardiologist thinks it's muscular, but I'm wondering if it could be something lung-related instead. Are there any tests I should consider to figure out if it's a lung issue or really just muscular?

Question

I've been having chest pain since my ATT treatment back in 2016, especially when I breathe in. It gets worse with cold weather, drinking cold water, or after a cold shower, even during summer. I've told my doctor, but my reports have always shown normal results. In 2020, I saw a pulmonary doctor who found Multiple Centrilobular Nodular Opacities in the basal segment of my right lower lobe and bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. They thought it might be TB and did a bronchoscopy, which came back negative. I've been using the inhaler Formoflo 250, but the pain is still there. This winter was rough with the pain getting worse, and I started having skin issues and hair loss. I'm worried because I'm ANA positive 4, but my CT thorax, X-ray, and ECG were normal, though I do have hypothyroid and low hemoglobin. My cough is mostly dry and orange, with a little blood occasionally. I'm currently taking Paracetamol 650 for fever due to the chest pain. What could be causing all of these symptoms, and what should I do next?

Question

Could there be any chance that lung lesions, especially if the largest is about 2cm, might be cancerous? What are the probabilities of that happening? I'm really worried. Can you help me understand?

Question

I'm worried because when I inhale, it feels like my veins get stuck in my ribs in the back and on my chest. The doctor said this should help with my breathing problem, but my hands are still shaking. What could be causing this? Do you have any advice?
