Question

I'm having some trouble with breathing after meals. It's like shortness of breath, and I find it hard to breathe properly. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could this be related to something I'm eating or how I'm eating? Would love your insight on this.

Question

I'm feeling really concerned because every night between 6 PM and 3 AM, I start getting a fever accompanied by chills and sweating. After the fever, I find it hard to take deep breaths, only managing about 8 seconds sometimes. Sometimes, the fever even hits in the evening and morning. I'm also experiencing pain on the right side of my chest, especially when I cough or try to take a long breath. I recently got an X-ray, and it mentioned something about a thick-walled cavitory lesion in the right mid-zone with some surrounding consolidation. Does this sound serious? What could it possibly mean for my health?

Question

I'm really worried about my 76-year-old mom. She was diagnosed with Pulmonary TB but it was caught pretty early on. She started on AKT4, but after just five days, she had terrible reactions like severe vomiting and nausea. It left her feeling really weak. We admitted her to the hospital, and her LFT reports came back way off. So, they stopped her medication for four days, but her LFTs still aren't normal yet. Now they've suggested starting with Ethambutol and checking her LFTs again in three days, then adding another drug and doing more LFTs. Her sputum test was negative, but the gene expert test showed TB. Does this plan make sense? I'm just so worried about her and really want to make sure we're doing the right thing for her treatment.
