I'm a bit worried because I've had this heavy, sticky cough for a month now, and it started right after I had a fever for two days. Whenever I cough, I feel pain in the nerves of my head. I've tried different cough syrups, but nothing seems to help. It's starting to feel quite similar to asthma. I'm 31, and Ive had a chest X-ray, which turned out normal. I've also got my LFT results back, and the numbers are slightly off from the normal rangeconjugated bilirubin is at 0.44, SGOT is 65.7, SGPT is 78, globulin is 4.3, and the AG ratio is 0.79. Should I be concerned about these numbers, and what should my next step be?

View allI'm a bit confused about my mom's diagnosis. Her CT scan showed something like patchy airspace acinarization and some nodular radio opacities, and she has prominent bronchovascular markings. The doctor said she's got tuberculosis and put her on this Rizorine kit. But what's really bugging me is the doctor mentioned it's not contagious. Is it common for TB to be non-contagious, or could there be some misunderstanding here?
Yes it is not contagious,as we all are vaccinated for it,but if you are weak it might infect you,be safe and follow hygiene practices

I've been dealing with a cough for about two months now. It kicked off with a cold, mostly staying dry, but whenever I get a cold again, it turns into a productive cough. Interestingly, after about a month and a half, it went away for like five days, but then both the cold and the cough came back. I've tried different medicines, but nothing seems to help. I'm genuinely worried about what's going on. What could be causing this persistent cough, and why aren't the medicines working? Any advice or should I be concerned?

I've been experiencing this slight breathlessness for the past few days, like I constantly need to take deep breaths every few seconds. Occasionally, there's also a mild pain in my chest. I saw a local doctor who thinks it might be Air Hunger, maybe from exertion or anxiety, and he suggested I try some energy boosters. I'm a little worried it might be something more serious. Should I be more concerned or is this something not too serious?
do ECG AND CHEST X RAY to rule out serious issues
