I've been having trouble breathing like I did when I had asthma as a kid. This started last Monday and seems to be happening every night since I began playing football. Could these breathing issues be related to my new activity, and how can I get back to normal?

I'm really struggling with my breathing lately. I've got this constant congestion in my chest, and it's there all day long. It's so bad that even yawning is tough. When I lie down at night, I feel like I'm choking and can't sleep. I saw a pulmonologist who thought it might be an allergy, and I've been taking the meds he gave me, but nothing's changing. Do you have any advice on what I could try next?

My mom is 65 and she's been dealing with a really bad cough for the past two months. We got an x-ray done, and the doctor said we need to do a CT scan. They found a nodule about 6.7mm by 6.2mm in the upper lobe of her right lung. It's non-calcified, and I'm really worried. Does this mean there's a high chance it could be cancer, or could it be something like bronchitis or pneumonia instead?
