I'm feeling really anxious about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Lately, I've noticed I'm short of breath, especially when I'm trying to sleep. It's been accompanied by a whizzing sound, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Plus, I've realized that one of my ankles is swollen on the inside. Could these things be related? What might be going on?

Question

I've been dealing with this issue where I cough up phlegm every morning, and it's been flaring up again after I caught COVID. This was under control before I got sick, but now it's back again. Especially after I eat, it feels like it gets worse. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this?

Question

I'm really starting to worry because even though I've been on the treatment for Tuberculosis since early August, I'm not seeing any improvement. I have these persistent symptoms like daily evening fevers and joint pains, and I've stopped losing weight but not gaining back what I lostI used to weigh 62 kg and now I'm stuck at 55 kg. The CECT scan showed some enlarged lymph nodes in different areas like prevascular and hilar regions, and I can't get rid of this feeling that it might be something more serious, like a malignancy. It's been 6 weeks since I started the treatment. Is it time to consider other possibilities or should I stick with the current treatment plan a little longer?

Question

I'm having some trouble with my breathing that's been going on for about 10-12 days. I'm constantly feeling the need to take deep breaths, yet exercising like jogging or using stairs doesnt seem to be a problem. It's odd because I'm yawning a lot during the day, and it seems to get worse at night. I'm really puzzled and a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you help me understand what's going on?
