My mom had some fluid taken out from her lungs and the lab tests said it's not TB. But she still has this fever in the evenings, sweats a lot at night, can't really catch her breath well, and her heart's racing. Could these be signs of pneumonia or maybe even TB?

Question

I'm experiencing this issue where my breathing feels low during the night, even though all my tests like PFT, echo, and TMT are normal. I live in a hilly area, and I'm wondering if that's affecting my oxygen levels at night. Could moving to a flatter area help with getting more oxygen? Is there a particular reason that might justify relocating?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my recent chest X-ray results. It's been 3 months since I had COVID, and the scans are showing nodular opacity in both my left and right lung. I'm really anxious about what this might mean. Is it something to worry about? I've been dealing with post-COVID anxiety and experiencing shortness of breath. Would love some insight on this.
