I'm having trouble breathing for the past three days, and it's been a bit strange because sometimes it seems to get better for a while, but mostly it's still there. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

View allI'm feeling this weird vibration in my right lower lung when I breathe, mostly at night when I'm trying to sleep. There's no pain, just this funny sensation. But sometimes if I take a deep breath or move a certain way, I get a sharp, needle-like pain. It's growing concerning, and I'm wondering what's going on. Can you shed some light on this?
The vibration and occasional sharp pain you feel in your lower lung could be due to muscle strain, mild inflammation in the pleura (lining of the lungs), or even trapped air in small airways. If it persists or worsens, consult a doctor for a thorough check-up to rule out any lung or musculoskeletal issues.

My husband finished 6 months of medication for mediastinal lymph node TB, and I've attached his reports. Originally, his node was 7cm by 3cm. During this period, he gained 9kg, and while he used to have a fever, thats gone now and his cough is a bit better. But he still coughs around 30 times a day, and I'm counting each one. Could it be something serious like cancer since his cough hasn't completely cleared up yet?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with this issue for the past few days and it's got me a bit worried. I'm allergic and under treatment from my pulmonologist. I take montoluekast tablets and use an inhaler three times a day. Lately, though, I've been experiencing this odd sensation where my breathing feels heavy, or like I can't completely exhale. It only lasts about 10 to 15 minutes and then it's gone. I can do all my activities like walking briskly for half an hour and jogging in the morning. I also do pranayam breathing exercises almost every day. Do you think I should get tested for something specific? Could there be an issue with my lungs?
it might be due to your anxiety
