I'm a bit concerned because I've never had any medical issues before, but for the last month or so, I've been getting out of breath really easily, even just walking a short distance or talking a lot. I used to be really active, going to the gym and doing cardio and weight training regularly until the end of last year. I'm curious if there's something going on with my health and what kind of remedies I should consider. Any thoughts on what might be causing this sudden breathlessness?

I'm really worried about my dad. His CT scan just showed that he has right-sided pleural effusion with a solid component, and there's something about subsegmental collapse consolidation. Could these findings mean he might have developed some kind of malignancy? I'm not sure what to think and could really use some guidance.

No we can't tell only on CT reports

I'm a bit worried because my chest X-ray, ultrasound, HIV, thyroid, and other blood tests all came back fine, but my Mantoux test showed a positive result with a size of around 16 mm. I'm not sure if this means I need to start TB treatment. Also, my body temperature usually stays between 98 to 98.8 degrees. Should I be getting any other tests done? Could you give me some advice on this?
