I'm experiencing something strange with my breathing. Even though my nasal passages are clear, it feels like there's something blocking my inhalation right from the start. When I tilt my head back, I notice I can inhale more deeply. Is there an actual difference in my breathing when I do that? Also, during exhalation, I feel the air coming out just fine, but could this be a problem for my lungs? Would love some clarity on this.

Question

I'm dealing with chest congestion and some breathing issues all day, which is making me feel really anxious and panicky. It's pretty uncomfortable and concerning. Do you think I should be worried about anything major, and is there something specific I can do to ease this?

Question

I've got a positive TB gold test, but my sputum for AFB and TB CBNAAT tests came back negative. I don't even have a cough. The CT scan of my abdomen showed lymph nodes in the right iliac fossa, but my gastro doctor couldn't spot them during a colonoscopy. How do I figure out if the TB is active or latent? Would an FDG whole body PET CT help clarify whether it's active or latent TB? I'm a bit confused and could really use some guidance on what to do next.

Question

My dad's 66 and dealing with some BP issues like today, it's at 170100. He's had asthma for a couple of years and some sleep issues, plus he gets shortness of breath when sleeping. He's been using a CPAP machine for about a year now, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. We started him on some medications like Sartel 40, Cinod 10, Rousuvas, Forocot, and Montair, which helped bring his BP to around 13080 or 14090 for a bit. But now, it's gone back up even after adjusting his meds. He's taking Sartel 80 and Ivabard in the morning and evening, and Rousvas at night. The BP readings improve by lunchtime, but soon after taking his meds, he feels dizzy, uncomfortable, and his BP goes up. He seems okay with his night dosage, though, and the CPAP reports show his AHI count is fine, but his sleep quality isn't great. He keeps coughing with the CPAP, and it doesn't seem like he's getting restful sleep. Could this be because of asthma or the dry air from the CPAP? What might be going on, and what can we do to manage his BP and improve his sleep?
