I've been dealing with TB and started my meds back on March 13, 2018. At the beginning, my fever was really high, around 103, but now it's gone down to about 99 to 100. I'm wondering, when can I expect this fever to finally go away?

It's great that your fever has reduced. Typically, it can take a few weeks for the fever to completely subside during TB treatment, but it varies from person to person. Keep monitoring your temperature, and if it persists or worsens, be sure to consult your doctor.

Question

I've had TB and then caught COVID, and now I'm having chest pain and trouble breathing again. I'm wondering if I should get an HRCT or an MRI of my chest to check my lungs. I've had a few HRCTs before, but they have radiation, which worries me. Can you tell me which option might be better?

Question

Whats the best way to measure SpO2 for someone with COVID? I'm getting different readings on the oximeter. Sometimes it's 95 or 96, but then a minute later it can be 98. When I wake up, it drops to 95 or 97, but if I'm sitting properly, it goes up to 98 or 99. I'm really confused about how to accurately measure SpO2. I also tried doing a 6-minute walk test and within 10 seconds I saw readings from 95 up to 98. Is this normal?

Question

My dad's 66 and dealing with some BP issues like today, it's at 170100. He's had asthma for a couple of years and some sleep issues, plus he gets shortness of breath when sleeping. He's been using a CPAP machine for about a year now, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. We started him on some medications like Sartel 40, Cinod 10, Rousuvas, Forocot, and Montair, which helped bring his BP to around 13080 or 14090 for a bit. But now, it's gone back up even after adjusting his meds. He's taking Sartel 80 and Ivabard in the morning and evening, and Rousvas at night. The BP readings improve by lunchtime, but soon after taking his meds, he feels dizzy, uncomfortable, and his BP goes up. He seems okay with his night dosage, though, and the CPAP reports show his AHI count is fine, but his sleep quality isn't great. He keeps coughing with the CPAP, and it doesn't seem like he's getting restful sleep. Could this be because of asthma or the dry air from the CPAP? What might be going on, and what can we do to manage his BP and improve his sleep?
