I've been dealing with wheezing for 25 years, initially using an Asthalin inhaler and now Foracart 400 rotacaps. I don't take any oral medicines for it. The past couple of weeks, I've started feeling chest tightness, breathlessness, and fatigue. I've also had mild hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes for 15 years. For my BP, I take Teleact AM 40 at night, and for diabetes, I take Amaryl 1 mg twice a day. My diabetes seems to be under control, but I'm worried about what might be causing these new symptoms. Could it be related to my wheezing or COPD, or maybe my high BP, CAD, or diabetes? What do you think?

Hey, so I just got an HRCT chest scan for Covid-19, and it turns out there's subsegmental atelectasis in the posterior segment of my right upper lobe. Can someone tell me what this means? What might have caused it? Is this something serious like cancer? And is there a way to treat it? Also, where can I find a top doctor for this? A little backgroundI had TB back in 2010 and was treated for it, plus I do smoke.

I'm having trouble breathing properly. Whenever I walk up the stairs to the second floor, my chest starts to hurt and I can't catch my breath. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I just have these breathing problems. What could be causing this?
