I'm 24 and currently being treated for lymph node TB. Recently, I've been having some trouble with chest pain on my left side for about 5 months now. I'm not sure if it's because of my TB medications or maybe it's just anxiety. There's also some shortness of breath I'm dealing with. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

My dad got diagnosed with COPD about three years ago because he used to smoke a lot. The doctors back then gave him these inhalers called Tiova and Foracort to help with it. But ever since, he's been having trouble with urination and gets really bad indigestion. A couple of months ago, he also started getting skin rashes on his hands and wrists. I did some research and found that Tiova has a whole list of side effects, and a lot of them seem to match up with what he's going through right now. Do you think he should stop using these inhalers?
