Question

I'm concerned about the results of my X-ray from April 10. What exactly does pneumonitis mean? Is it the same thing as pneumonia? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've never had any medical issues before, but for the last month or so, I've been getting out of breath really easily, even just walking a short distance or talking a lot. I used to be really active, going to the gym and doing cardio and weight training regularly until the end of last year. I'm curious if there's something going on with my health and what kind of remedies I should consider. Any thoughts on what might be causing this sudden breathlessness?

Question

My dad's been diagnosed with pulmonary TB, but it was kind of a surprise because he didn't show the usual symptoms like a persistent cough or weight loss. His weight is 47kg and he's 78 years old. We began AKT4 treatment, and everything seemed fine for the first five days. But by the seventh day, he had really bad nausea, vomiting, and extreme weakness. When we got him to the hospital, they found his sodium and potassium levels had tanked. They've suggested stopping AKT4 for a couple of days until his levels stabilize, then restarting with a slightly lower dosage. Is it okay to pause and adjust his meds like this since it's still the early stage of TB and there isn't much lung damage?
