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?

I'm worried about this lung nodule they found in my recent scan. If it's related to a tuberculosis infection or cancer, how much would it typically grow in just one month? And what does it mean if the nodule's size stays the same or even gets smaller after a month?
it is good if it is reducing its size, monitor the size
