Question

I've recently had an MRI and a sleep study, and my doctor started me on Leverage 500. They also mentioned using APAP or BiPAP if needed. I'm a bit confused about when I should actually start using APAP or if I should switch to BiPAP. How do I know which one is necessary for me? Can you help clarify this?

Question

I was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis last month and I've been taking my meds as prescribed, but now my uric acid levels are up to 12.7. So my doctor stopped most of the TB meds and left me with just rcinex 600 and moximacgerdid. I've read that without taking the full set of TB meds like AKT4, the treatment might not fully work. Is it really okay if I stop taking Pyzina but keep the treatment going? I'm really worried about any future problems. Should I stick with rcinex 600 or should I switch back to taking AKT4?

Question

I've been feeling like there's air getting trapped in my chest. It's similar to when you have to cough to clear out mucus, but this is deeper in my chest. I'm really worried it might be thoracic pneumothorax. What do you think I should do?
