I have been feeling short of breath, like something is stuck in my throat, and sometimes feel dazed, especially after meals. My heart also beats faster than normal at times. I've been taking 150mg of Zantac daily for about a week. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I am worried that I have a fungal sinus infection due to immune compromise and overuse of antibiotics. I have experienced mild hoarseness, postnasal drip, and changes in nasal discharge (from yellow and bloody to clear and then to green and bloody). I have consulted an ENT who suggested a CT scan, but I am hesitant due to concerns about radiation exposure and the need for multiple specialist consultations. Do I really need a CT scan, and do you think I have a mild fungal infection?

Does a productive chest cough usually rumble in the chest, as opposed to a sinus cough which wouldn't? If it isn't rumbling in the chest, is it probably not productive mets? Here's what happened: I had a cough that was somewhat productive (unusual for me) and a rumble in my chest. Then the cough stopped rolling, started to seem more like a sinus cough and the rumble in the chest went away for about a week. Now, I have a productive cough again today with no persistent rumble in the chest. Does any of this sound like lung mets? I only have one coughing bout per day, am not losing weight, and do not have a bloody cough. What percent chance is this early lung mets? Do people with lung mets usually have more than one coughing bout per day?
