Should I Get TMT and Chest X-ray for Shortness of Breath and High Heart Rate?
Shortness of breath, especially worsening at night, can be concerning. Given your normal heart tests and cholesterol levels, it might indicate other factors such as anxiety, allergies, or even respiratory issues. It's good that your oxygen levels are stable.

Why is my 3-year-old son struggling with breathing?
I understand your concern for your child, Muhammad Arham. It sounds like he experiences periods of breath-holding when upset, which can be alarming. This may happen due to a response to strong emotions like fear or frustration. Although these episodes can be distressing, they are often not serious. Continue to gently support him when he is upset, and encourage calm breathing. However, it is important to have a pediatrician evaluate these episodes, especially since they have occurred multiple times.
