I'm feeling worried because sometimes when I go for a walk, especially after I've covered about a kilometer, I start experiencing breathlessness. It's not every time, but it happens often enough to be concerning. I've done various tests like echo, ECG, TMT, chest X-ray, and all sorts of blood tests, but everything comes back normal. Why could this be happening?

My mom is 66, 45 inches tall and weighs 52 kg. She has COPD and severe sleep apnea but has been using CPAP for 2 months now. Also has thyroid issues, BP and anxiety. Found multiple 8mm gallstones with very mild occasional pain but no vomiting, fever and good appetite. Is she okay to go ahead with surgery next month or should we wait?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
