I'm curious about my breathing patterns. When I'm just relaxing, like sitting or lying down, I find myself doing a bit of deep breathing. Does that sound normal to you? But then, when I start walking, my breaths get shallower and quicker. So, my inhale and exhale times become pretty short. Is that something to be worried about or is it completely normal? I'm really unsure about this and would appreciate your guidance.

I've just been diagnosed with TB and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to wash my hair. Also, is being out in the sunlight something I should be worried about with TB? I could really use some advice on this.

Yes, sunlight is helpful in extrapulmonary tb only.

I'm wondering about my situation with TB. I've been on the AKT 4 kit for 35 days now and have kept myself quarantined this whole time, always wearing a mask. Is it safe for me to stop wearing the mask and be around my family? I'm just a bit anxious about making sure I'm not putting them at risk.

I'm reaching out because I've been having some troubles and could really use some advice. I don't have a cough at all, but I've been putting a lot of effort into trying to bring up sputum, and thankfully, I've never seen blood in it. I'm not a smoker, but I do experience acidity problems. After taking Theo-Asthalin tablets for the past three days, I'm now feeling a heaviness in my chest. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what might be helpful for me?

take tablet mucinac twice a day for 5 days
