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've been feeling like there's air getting trapped in my chest. It's similar to when you have to cough to clear out mucus, but this is deeper in my chest. I'm really worried it might be thoracic pneumothorax. What do you think I should do?

I'm dealing with a dust allergy and have been for 56 years. After a cold, it feels like my chest gets blocked up with cough, and I struggle to breathe properly. Over the past 3 months, I've started to notice a pain on just the right side of my chest. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do about it?

I'm dealing with wheezing and got this dust allergy thing going on too. My PFT results came back saying there's some restrictive airways action happening. I'm using Maxiflo 250mg rotocaps inhalers, but I still get a bit of wheezing sometimes. Does that sound like I need to switch up my meds, or is this normal?
the medication is okay
