Question

I'm a 30-year-old male and had a pleural effusion diagnosed as TB about eight months ago. I'm doing well now and was thinking of joining a gym. Could you suggest any body supplements that would be safe for me to use with my history?

I've been yawning a lot and feeling like I constantly need to take deep breaths, almost like I can't get enough air. It's really weird and a little worrying. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be related to stress or something else?

Question

I'm feeling really worried because my family member has been having a bad cough and chest congestion for a few days now. He's also struggling to get any sleep at night and it seems to get worse when he's talking. We went to a doctor and while his blood pressure is fine and the X-ray showed everything is normal, the doctor prescribed some tablets and a syrup, including Ecozet MTA and Amoxicillin, and also recommended using Neb Duolin for a week. We've been following the prescription, but the cough is still not going away. What should our next steps be? Should we be concerned or try something different?

Question

I'm a bit worried about a recent HRCT report I got back. It mentions a large smooth-walled air-filled lesion that's replaced my right upper lobe, likely a bullae, with some compressive atelectatic changes in the adjacent lung. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned about this?
