I'm experiencing shortness of breath even though my chest X-ray and ECG came back normal. Could anxiety be causing this, or should I be worried about something else? What might be the issue?

I'm really worried about my mom; she's 55 and her recent CT scan showed a severity score of 13. The report mentioned something about "ground glass opacity" in her lungs, possibly suggesting viral pneumonitis. Does this mean she has a severe case of COVID?

I've been having a lot of trouble with my breathing and seem to be coughing all the time. It's becoming a regular thing, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. It feels like a never-ending cycle, and I'm just not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious, or is there something I can do to help ease these symptoms?

I'm really worried and need some advice. So, there's this situation where someone was treated for MDR for about a year and a half with pulmonary TB. Now, it looks like they're also dealing with lymph node TB. I'm curious, could this mean there's a chance of having MDR again?

Yes.
