I've been having some health issues that are worrying me. Last year, I had TB and got it sorted out with a CT scan. The main symptoms were blood in my sputum and nose. I finished my 6-month treatment in June 2022, but these past 3 months, I've been having this pain on the right side of my chest. The X-rays are coming back normal, but when I take deep breaths, that pain is still there. And for the last 5-10 days, whenever I do yoga or deep breathing exercises, a bit of blood comes from my right nostril. What do you think could be going on?

My dad's really struggling with his COPD. He can barely walk 20 meters without having trouble breathing.

Its really worrying me.

Question

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for what feels like ages, like over a thousand years, and it's been seriously frustrating. I've visited countless doctors, but none of the treatments seem to work for me. I'm constantly dealing with a dry cough and a sore throat, and it just keeps cycling back. Its leaving me feeling really stuck and I'm not sure what to do anymore. Got any ideas on what could help?
