I'm having trouble breathing, especially when I eat or after doing a bit of exercise. I also deal with anxiety and panic disordercould that be causing my shortness of breath, or should I be worried about something else? Can you help me figure this out?

View allI'm wondering if regular exercise might help with the occasional pain and discomfort I still feel in my lungs after finishing my pulmonary TB treatment. My sputum test came back negative, and the test was done during a bronchoscopy. Do you think there's any specific exercise that would be beneficial? I'm really hoping to avoid going back on medication. My treatment wrapped up in July 2021.

I'm facing a problem with my breathing whenever I'm in cold places like my office, and it seems like that's when my cough really kicks in. I don't have the flu or anything, but I notice I'm breathing really fast. Anyone know what could be going on?
That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm a bit concerned and curious about something. After having COVID a month ago, all my symptoms have gone away, and my SpO2 levels have been normal for a while. My chest X-ray came back normal too, which is reassuring, but I'm wondering if its still possible for there to be any fibrosis that wouldnt show up yet? Or does a normal X-ray mean everything's clear? Im just trying to understand what a normal X-ray really tells me at this point. I'm 34 and havent had any other symptoms.
