I'm really worried because I've been experiencing shortness of breath, especially after meals and at night. I've gone through all the heart-related tests and they've come back normal, so I'm unsure what's causing it. Can you help me figure out the root cause of my breathing problem and what I can do to solve it?

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally inhaled a small piece of rice while eating yesterday. Could this cause any harm, and is there a chance it might dissolve on its own? I'm also concerned about the possibility of getting an infection. What should I do?
A small foreign body, such as a piece of rice, getting into the lungs can potentially cause irritation or infection. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you are experiencing symptoms such as persistent cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or fever. In some cases, the foreign body may need to be removed by a medical professional. I recommend visiting a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
