I've been experiencing this weird sensation where I feel short of breath, even when my nose is clear. I'm finding myself needing to take deep breaths and inhale more often than usual. Is this something I should be worried about? What might be causing it?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my health after having a cold. My antigen test came back negative, and I've noticed my respiration rate is 14, and my SpO2 has dropped to 95 from 99 before the cold. Im wondering if the lower SpO2 could be related to the cold since I dont have fever or body aches. Could you give me some insight into this?
nothing to worry, continue the treatment

I recently had to get a medical check-up for my new job at a bank, and the chest X-ray report mentioned something about Right Pleural Thickening. I'm really not sure what that means. Should I be worried or take any specific action? Can you shed some light on what this could imply for my health?
Right pleural thickening, as seen on your chest X-ray, indicates scarring or inflammation of the pleura, the membrane surrounding the lungs, which can be caused by various factors, such as past pneumonia, tuberculosis, asbestos exposure, or other lung diseases, and while it's often benign, your doctor may recommend further tests, like a CT scan or pulmonary function tests, to determine the underlying cause and assess any potential impact on your lung function or overall health
