Question

I'm feeling really concerned as I've been dealing with asthma for the past 20 years. Right now, I'm under the care of Dr. Jafrey, but I'm also managing diabetes. I'm curious about how these two conditions might be affecting each other or if the treatments could be interacting in any way. Could this be impacting my asthma management, and is there anything specific I should be keeping in mind?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about a recent x-ray I had for a job-related issue. The report mentioned something about bronchovascular markings in my lungs. I'm wondering if it would help to take an antibiotic course to improve my condition. I have a small amount of breathing trouble, but it gets much worse whenever I catch a cold. Could you give me some advice on what I could do to prevent lung infections?

Question

I'm really worried about my grandfather. He was diagnosed with TB about seven months ago and took medication for six months which ended on December 16, 2022. It's been about a month since then, but for the past ten days, he's been coughing excessively again. Last time when he was on the ATT drug, he felt uncomfortable and his SGPT and SGOT levels were really high. We got some tests done and, thankfully, his LFT and CBC reports are normal now. But the sputum test came back positive again. Our doctor has currently prescribed Amoxicillin 625 mg, Montelukast 10 mg, and a cough syrup. I'm trying to figure out if he should go back on the TB medicine or if there's something else we should consider. Could you give me some advice on what the next steps might be?

Question

I'm feeling really worried because every time I cry, my lungs start to hurt and it gets hard to breathe. It's like there's no air around me and I have to go outside to catch my breath. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
