I'm having this really bad pain on the right side of my chest whenever I breathe in or try to lie down. Its super painful every time I move, but weirdly, it goes away once I stop moving. Do you think this is something I should be worried about? What could be causing this kind of pain?

Sir, I'm a bit confused about something medical and I need your help. If I got results saying MTB is detected and it's sensitive to rifampicin and isoniazid, what exactly does that mean? I'm having trouble understanding and could really use some guidance.

Question

I'm struggling with some chest congestion. It gets worse whenever I'm in an air-conditioned room or after having cold drinks. It's really hard to breathe sometimes, and I can feel the congestion in my lungs and chest. Could you recommend some medicine or advice on what to do?

Question

I've been dealing with this choking sensation for almost a year now, and it really feels like I'm short of breath. I end up coughing a lot, trying to make it better, and it kind of feels like I'm going to vomit, but nothing ever comes outno vomiting, no sputum. I haven't had any fever either. I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago and everything seemed normal, and about five months ago, I had an HD Chest Scan, 2D Echo, and another X-rayall normal too. I'm taking Montek LC half a tablet at night and using an inhaler, but nothing's helping. What could this be?
