I've been experiencing these weird electric shock sensations in my lungs lately, and it lasts for about 2 minutes every time. It gets really uncomfortable when I breathe in and out, and Im even dealing with quite a bit of chest pain. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Question

I'm having trouble breathing for the past two months. It feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen to my head or legs, and my throat feels heavy with some chest discomfort. I've also had a cold for the same duration, but it's more of a stuffed nose than a runny nose. Antibiotics didnt help much. My doctor did an ECG and X-ray, and everything came out fine. She mentioned it might be an allergy and prescribed Allegra and some acid reflux meds for ten days. I felt better but not fully recovered. I stopped the medication on May 18th and can still do an hour of exercise daily, but the cold persists. There's a post-nasal drip, and the mucus feels stuck in my throat. I'm also finding my breaths shallow, needing to take deep breaths occasionally. What should I do next?

Question

My mom was treated for COVID at Apollo, and we asked the doctor to discharge her while she was still on 2 liters of oxygen. After a few days at home, I managed to reduce the oxygen to 1 liter, but now I'm noticing something concerning. Her SPO2 levels are showing around 92-93, and her pulse rate is between 105-120. Could you give me some advice about this situation? It has me a bit worried.

Question

I'm really concerned about my uncle who is 60 years old. He's been having mild fever on and off and he's also lost some weight recently. I know he has a history of smoking, which worries me more. We got an AFB test, and it came back negative for TB, but his chest CT scan showed some serious stuff. There are a few nodular areas of consolidation in his lungs that have irregular margins and some of them show central necrosis. They also mentioned something about fibrotic pleuroparenchymal bands. The report suggests it might be an infectious process like TB, but they also said we cant rule out cancer without a biopsy. There are also some small nodular lesions in his right upper lobe and left upper lobe, and the CT scan mentioned mediastinal lymphadenopathy, which I've read can be really serious. Could you help me understand what all this means and what steps we should take next?
