I had tuberculosis back in April 2016 and took medication for 9 months, including Streptomycin 1gm, Combutol 800, and Rcin 450, until February 15. Now I've got a bit of a cough and some pain again. Do you think it might be TB again? And how likely is it to be MDR-TB if it is? I'm really worried about this.

I was wondering if those nictox tablets or other medications actually help. Do you have any advice on how I can successfully quit smoking?

I'm having trouble with shortness of breath, and it feels like I can't exhale properly. I keep yawning a lot, and it only helps for a while. I've had a chest X-ray, ECG, and CBC, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure and oxygen levels are fine too. I don't have asthma or pneumonia, but my eosinophils count is a bit high at 8.6 when the range is 0-6.0, though the absolute count is within the range. This breathing thing happened before but didn't bother me as much. I've seen a cardiologist and a general physician, and they've said it's due to anxiety, but I can't wrap my head around anxiety causing this all day and night. Do you have any suggestions on what might be going on or what I can do to get some relief?

anxiety- do meditation regularly

I'm experiencing some chest congestion and I'm noticing a problem with breathing whenever I go for a walk. It feels like I run out of energy pretty quickly, and my legs start hurting. I'm worried about what could be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it just because I'm maybe a bit out of shape? It's pretty concerning, so I'd love to get some advice on what to do next.

do chest x ray
