I've been having this really sharp pain in my chest, mostly on the left side, for about a month now. It used to just happen when I moved a certain way or turned over in bed, but recently it's been happening more randomly, sometimes on the right side or in the middle too. Breathing in can be painful sometimes as well. I've got allergic rhinitis and asthma, and my allergies have been acting up lately. I'm finding myself out of breath pretty often when doing even small things, and it's hard to breathe at night since my nose gets blocked and I can hear wheezing from my chest. Could this chest pain be linked to my asthma? I'm starting to worry, and would really appreciate some advice!

I recently got an HRCT scan done for a surgery, and the report mentioned a small fibrotic patch in the middle lobe close to the oblique fissure. The rest of the HRCT of my chest is basically normal with no signs of viral pneumonia. But I'm pretty worried about this fibrotic patch. I dont have any bad habits or anything like that. Should I be concerned about this?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days. A sputum for AFB and microscopy and spirometry is advised to the patient.
