I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past 45 days. It feels like the air isnt fully filling my chest, and I have to take deep breaths for 15 to 30 seconds for things to feel normal. I don't have a cold, cough, or fever, but today my throat is super dry and it feels like theres pressure inside. What could be going on? I'm really worried.

I've noticed that I tend to not breathe properly when I'm not consciously focusing on my breath. It's like I realize after a few minutes that I wasn't breathing at all. Sometimes it even happens at night during sleep, and I'll wake up suddenly. I've been trying deep breathing pranayam exercises to help, but I'm really curious and a bit worried about why this might be happening. Could you provide some guidance on what might be going on?
do chest xray

I'm really worried about my sister. Shes been having chest pain and her X-ray came back showing some inhomogeneous opacity in the lower zone. It mentions something about infiltration. Could you explain what this means and what our next steps should be? What can we do to resolve this?
The X-ray report indicating inhomogeneous opacity in the lower zone with infiltration suggests a possible pulmonary infection or inflammation; next steps should include: consulting a pulmonologist or chest specialist, undergoing a CT scan or HRCT for better imaging, and getting blood tests (CBC, ESR, CRP) to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment, which may involve antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or further investigations.
