I'm currently undergoing TB treatment and it's been around four months, but I've noticed some blood in my early morning cough sputum again. It's been worrying me, and I'm unsure if this is normal or something to be concerned about. What should I do from here? Could it mean something's not going as planned with my treatment?

I'm dealing with asthma and I'm worried because whenever I start walking, this pressure begins to build up in my throat, which makes me stop. Along with that, there's this chest tightness and throat pressure that starts to increase the more I walk. Could this be related to asthma, even though I don't have a history of smoking or other illnesses like diabetes or hypertension? I've attached the documents I'm using my inhaler as needed, which is a Firacot 200, but I'm not sure what else I should do to stop these symptoms. Any advice?

I'm a bit worried about my recent CT report, and I could really use some guidance. It mentions that there's a collapse consolidation in my left lower lobe and some specks of calcification with fibronodular changes. They also found a few confluent nodules and scattered small nodules in both lung fields, plus ground glass opacity in my right lower lobe. The impression notes something about mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a mild pleural infusion on the left. Can someone explain what all these terms mean and what I should be concerned about? Is this indicative of a serious condition or something treatable?
