I'm 27, weigh 72kg, and have a bit of a belly. Could this be why I'm having trouble breathing, even when I'm just sitting? It's definitely different from how I felt before I had the belly.

Yes, excess belly fat can sometimes put pressure on your diaphragm, which may lead to breathing difficulties, even while sitting. It can restrict lung expansion and make breathing feel more labored.

View allI've been experiencing shortness of breath lately. I went to see a doctor, and they did a chest X-ray which came back clear, and the doctor also did a PFT, mentioning it wasn't too bad. But I still feel like I can't catch my breath, and it's really worrying me. I'm wondering if this could all just be in my head or if there's something else going on. What do you think?

I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath, and it seems to come out of nowhere but then just disappears after a little while. Could this be a sign of asthma or something else I should be worried about?
Sudden shortness of breath that resolves on its own could be related to asthma, but it can also be caused by other conditions like anxiety, panic attacks, or cardiac issues, so it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a pulmonologist or an allergist, for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really concerned because I've had this persistent cough for 25 days now, and it's accompanied by pain on the left side of my chest and a lot of fatigue, but I don't have any fever. I went to a doctor who recommended some tests and here are the results: my ESR is at 48 mm1hr, TEC is 4.17 Cumm, and while my CBC came back normal, my white blood cell count is at 13.9 Thmm3. My Serum Vitamin D3 is pretty low at 20.5 ngml, and I tested negative for Sputum for AFB. I'm not sure what all this means and should I be worried about these results?
