I'm experiencing shortness of breath after playing badminton, and this just began about a month ago. Could this be something serious? Should I consider getting tested or seeing a doctor about it?

I've been noticing something concerning over the past month. Every morning, I start coughing up blood, and then it begins to come from my nose too. The blood's dark red, kind of like a clot. I'm not dealing with a sore throat or any weakness, but it's worrying. Could this be serious?

I'm dealing with mediastinal lymph node TB and I was wondering about my situation. I've been through CECT and EBUS, and the size was initially 7cm x 3cm. I used to have a fever, but thankfully that's gone now. However, I'm still coughing quite a bitaround 15 to 20 times a day. I've been on treatment for three and a half months, and my doctor told me it would be an eight-month-long process. Is this typical? I'm currently abroad, so I'm trying to figure out when to repeat the CECT. We've already done it twice since we had to travel, but the size hadn't reduced two months ago. Can you give me some guidance on this?

I'm really concerned about my mom's recent x-ray report. It shows that both of her hila are congested. She had breast cancer about five years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy, but has been doing well since then. Now with this new x-ray showing congestion and her having some breathing problems, I'm pretty worried. Can you help me understand what this might mean?
