I was diagnosed with COVID on June 24th and got treatment until July 10th. When I got discharged, the doctor said I didn't need another swab test. Since then, I haven't had any symptoms or health issues. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to go back to doing cardio workouts now. Also, what precautions should I take while exercising, and is it okay to focus on weight loss?

I'm currently on tuberculosis medication and have been for the last two months. When I started the treatment, my ESR was 49, and it's now at 44. Is it normal for ESR levels to decrease this slowly? Should I be concerned about the progress, or is this expected with TB treatment? I'm trying to understand what this could mean for my recovery.

yes esr is a marker of infection, it is lowering which is a good sign

I'm kind of worried because I finished my TB treatment a year ago, but now I'm experiencing chest pain, although I don't have a cough or anything like that. I'm just wondering, is it possible that the TB could be back even though my reports aren't showing any signs of it?

Patient is advised ecg,chest xray pa view and also sputum for AFB and microscopy.

I've recently quit smoking, but I'm still dealing with a persistent cough and a constant flow of mucus. It's been a while since I stopped, and I'm concerned about why these symptoms aren't going away. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
