Question

I've just turned 31 and I'm a bit concerned because I weigh 98 kgs and have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start hitting the gym for some strength and weight training to help shed some pounds. Can this kind of exercise routine be good for me given my condition?

Question

I'm having some issues with hilar prominence on the right side of my chest, and it's caused me to be considered unfit for a job in Oman.

What steps should I take, and are there any treatments or lifestyle changes that might help resolve it?

Question

I'm a 20-year-old female dealing with active pulmonary tuberculosis, and I've been on treatment for about 1.5 months now. The doctor said my x-ray shows that 70% of my lung is damaged, and there are large cavities. I'm having severe white-colored cough that just won't quit, and I'm exhausted all the timeI can't even stand without feeling the need to sit down. Any exercise or even short walks wipe me out completely. Given that I've been on medication for a while now, shouldn't the severe cough have improved by now? Is there any chance my lungs can heal and return to their previous state without cavities? And this tirednesscould it be a side effect of the anti-tuberculosis medicine I'm on?

Question

I've been dealing with this annoying issue for quite a while now. Whenever I go to bed and try to fall asleep, my throat starts itching and I begin coughing. It's definitely a dry cough. What's weird is that as soon as I stop trying to sleep, the coughing just goes away. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
