I'm a bit worried about these dense hilar shadows I've been told I have. Is that something I should be concerned about? I've also been dealing with chest pain and coughing up mucus. What's going on with my lungs?

I'm dealing with bronchitis asthma and I'm on Seroflo 250 and Montek FX. I also have NASH and take Bilypsa, Adesam 400, and Evion 400 for it. But every time I take Evion, I start having trouble breathing and it seems like it makes my asthma worse. Is there any link between Evion 400 and asthma? Why could this be happening?

you might be allergic to evion 400, better avoid taking it

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. It wakes me up and I find myself needing to wait to catch my breath before I can settle down again. It's been going on for about 3 years now and sometimes it's accompanied by bloating, burping, and farting. I notice the shortness of breath can also happen with panic or loud noises around me. I've tried different medicines over time but they only seem to help temporarily. I'm really curious to know what could be causing this and what might actually help. What do you think I should do?

take tablet pantop and start steam inhalation

I'm curious to know if I might have received the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis in my childhood. Is it a typical practice in India to get it along with other childhood vaccines? My parents can't remember either. Plus, whats the recommended test if I want to check for TB now? Should I go for the Tuberculin Skin Test or the TB Blood test, specifically the Quantiferon one?

Do CBNAAT to confirm it
