Hey, I've been wondering if it's okay to get the Covid vaccine after having completed TB treatment. I wrapped up my TB treatment a year back and I've recovered. Is there anything I should be concerned about, like specific side effects for those who've had TB?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. For the last 67 months, she's been experiencing excessive yawning during the day. We've done all kinds of tests like chest x-ray, ECG, echo, TMT, and even basic blood work, but everything's coming back normal. She often mentions feeling like there's air stuck in her left chest, and yawning seems to give her some relief. Sometimes she even has chest pains. Could you help us figure out what's going on?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my lungs. Every time I go for a GAMCA medical check, the X-ray shows these small calcified spots in the lungs, and they end up rejecting me for travel to the Gulf countries. Ive never had tuberculosis or any lung disease, though I used to smoke but quit about four months ago. The reports mention calcified nodules in the left hilar region, but doctors tell me it's not a disease and there's no treatment available. I've tried various treatments like homeopathy for six months, allopathy for two months, and ayurveda for a month, but nothing worked. I also got a blood checkup, which was clear. Its just the lungs that are problematic. What can I do to resolve this issue? I really need to find a solution to be able to travel.
CALCIFIED NODULES ARE NOT A DISEASE N ALL UNTREATEDABLE. IN LONG TERM AGO ANY PULMONARY INFECTION IS THEIR UNKNOWINGLY THEY SELF LIMITS SO THE LYMPH NODES ARE CALCIFIED.
