I have lung tuberculosis and noticed two lymph nodes on my neck. I've been taking my TB meds for nearly 3 months, but those lymph nodes are still there. It's been about 2 months, and I'm getting really worried about them. Could you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about?

I'm a COPD patient and I've been dealing with it for about 5 years now. I'm really interested in taking a vocal music class and I'm wondering if singing is off-limits for someone with COPD. Could I still join the class or would that be risky?

I'm thinking about getting a full body check-up, like from head to toe, and I'm kind of worried because I've been a heavy smoker for a while. What tests should I consider to find out how much damage smoking might have done to my body? Also, does a regular body check-up include smoking-related tests, or should I look for specific ones? Could you also suggest some good hospitals where I could get this done?

The cost of a full-body check-up varies depending on the hospital, but it generally ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 in India. For a smoker, essential tests include lung function tests, chest X-ray, and heart-related tests. Most full-body check-ups cover these, but it's best to confirm with the hospital. I recommend visiting reputed hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, or Medanta for comprehensive screenings.
