Question

I've had TB before back in 2010, but I got through it with treatment. Recently though, I've been experiencing some worrying symptoms. I've got a little chest pain mainly on the right side, there's dry coughing, and it kind of feels like there's a bloody taste in my mouth when I'm trying to get to sleep. There's also some appetite loss going on. Could these be signs of something serious, or am I overthinking it?

I'm a 45-year-old woman and I've been having trouble breathing for the past 3 to 4 years. Sometimes it feels like I have to forcefully inhale and it's quite concerning. I've already seen many doctors and they've prescribed medications like Feliz S Plus and Beloc Plus, but nothing seems to really help. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next or who else I can see about this. Can you give me some advice on who else to consult or what other steps I might take?
