I'm currently taking ATT, and about ten minutes after taking my Rifampin and Isoniazid or R Cinex this morning, I ended up vomiting. I'm really concerned about whether I need to take another tablet today or just wait until tomorrow. Could this affect my treatment?

You vomited after taking Rifampin+Isoniazid (R Cinex) this morning. It is likely that you did not fully absorb the medication. In this case, it is recommended not to take another dose today. However, if you continue to vomit or experience any other concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm really worried about someone who's been dealing with COVID since mid-April and was admitted to the hospital because their oxygen levels were low. They spent about 25 days on HFNC support, and now they're stable but still need 2 liters of oxygen. My main concern is about the post-COVID complications, especially the fibrosis they're experiencing. Given that they're also an asthmatic patient, I'm really anxious because whenever the oxygen support is removed, their saturation level drops significantly to around 60 to 70. What could be causing this, and is there something more we should be doing to help with their recovery or improve their oxygen levels?

I'm finding myself taking really deep breaths more often, and it feels like I'm putting in extra effort just to breathe sometimes. Is this something that's normal, or do you think I should get it checked out with some tests?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with a sort of suffocation and this weird tingling in my hands and feet for about a month. I did a pulmonary function test, and it came out normal. I'm wondering if it would be okay to use an inhaler to help with these symptoms?
