I'm a bit worried about my CT scan results. It showed a soft tissue attenuation lesion and several lung nodules, with the largest being 9mm. I had a bronchoscopy and the biopsy results came back normal. Should I still consider getting a PET scan, or is it alright to just let it be? I'm not sure how to proceed and would really appreciate your insight.

I've noticed that I tend to not breathe properly when I'm not consciously focusing on my breath. It's like I realize after a few minutes that I wasn't breathing at all. Sometimes it even happens at night during sleep, and I'll wake up suddenly. I've been trying deep breathing pranayam exercises to help, but I'm really curious and a bit worried about why this might be happening. Could you provide some guidance on what might be going on?
do chest xray
