I'm 24 and have been on anti-tuberculosis meds for a while, and tomorrow is my last day of them. Been super disciplined with my meds, and luckily my tests showed no AFB after two months and my chest X-ray was clear. I'm taking R Cinex 600 and Benaadon 40, and I've been feeling alrightgood appetite, no nausea. But what's been bothering me for the past 45 days is this mild pain in my left chest, plus a dry cough that sometimes comes with phlegm. Is this something to worry about? Could it be related to COVID or is it just a normal thing that happens with TB? I'm really worried.

View allI've been feeling short of breath for quite a while now, and honestly, it's starting to worry me. I had a chest X-ray and a CT scan, and both came back normal, but I'm still having trouble catching my breath. And now there's this chest pain whenever I try to move around. I'm just not sure what's going on. Any ideas?
Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .

What is meant by pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities? I got my CT scan report, and it mentions two pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities. One is about 44.7mm by 18.3mm in the posterior lateral basal segment and another 55.5mm by 26mm in the posterior and medial basal segment of the right lower lobe. Theres also a smaller one, about 12.5mm by 3.9mm in the superior segment of the left lower lobe. The report says there's no calcification or lucent areas in the masses, and no hilar lymphadenopathy or pleural effusion, thickening, or calcification. Could you help me understand what all this means?
there might be fibrosis at that point of lung ,that refers to opacities

I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past five years and have been relying on an inhaler and Montair LC tablets. I'm starting to worry about how long Ill need to stay on this medication. Could you help me understand if there are long-term effects I should be concerned about, or if there are any other treatments I might explore?
It sounds like you've been managing a chronic respiratory issue for the past five years, using an inhaler and Montair LC tablets to help with symptoms. It's important to continue following your prescribed treatment plan, but if you're noticing any changes or worsening of symptoms, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust your management strategy.
