Question

I'm worried because it feels like I'm not breathing well enough. I have to take a really deep breath every 10 seconds or so, and it's messing with my sleep. This has been going on for about 4 years now. I did see a pulmonologist and had a PFT test done, which came out fine, but I'm still having issues. I've tried different medications, including Deriphyllin, with no success. Any advice on what to do next?

I'm a bit worried about my CT scan results. It showed a soft tissue attenuation lesion and several lung nodules, with the largest being 9mm. I had a bronchoscopy and the biopsy results came back normal. Should I still consider getting a PET scan, or is it alright to just let it be? I'm not sure how to proceed and would really appreciate your insight.

Question

I was diagnosed with TB after they found a left pleural effusion and completed a 6-month treatment, using Acurit4 for 2 months and Acurit3 for the other 4 months. Now everything's good and I don't have any symptoms. I'm wondering, is it safe for me to get the COVID vaccine now? Is there a specific one I should be going for, like Covishield or Covaxin?
