I've been having trouble breathing, especially at night. It's gotten to the point where I wake up suddenly because it feels difficult to breathe. There's also some chest pain, and I just feel exhausted all the time. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

Is there a specific age when it's not safe to have an HRCT chest scan? I'm really curious because I read somewhere that certain age groups might face risks. Could you shed some light on this?

I'm worried because it feels like my deep breaths aren't fully satisfying, even though my normal breaths seem okay. After 7 to 8 regular breaths, I feel like I need a deeper breath but it's incomplete. Plus, I'm feeling kind of weak, maybe even feverish, but I don't actually have a fever. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm starting to feel concerned because I keep getting this urge to take deep breaths every now and then, but I'm breathing normally in between. It's been happening for about 15 days now, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?
