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?

View allI'm a bit worried because my ultrasound shows there's fluid in my lungs indicating a chest infection, but my blood report came back normal. Also, last week my Hba1c level was reported at 7.1. What could this mean for my overall health, and should I be concerned about these results in combination?
go for diabetologist and continue further

My dad's been dealing with night fevers and body aches for over a month now, like 40 days, and we've done all sorts of tests but haven't found anything concrete. His chest X-ray didn't show much, and the sputum report came back normal. The doctor mentioned that in the second stage of TB, changes can be subtle and hard to catch on X-rays and sputum tests, so he started the second line of TB drugs based on a CECT Scan. I've consulted a few other doctors, and after looking at the report and scan, they're suggesting it might be a reactivation of tuberculosis. Could you take a look at this and tell me if this report is solid enough to confirm TB?
yes through cect lung ,we can detect tuberculosis

I've recently been diagnosed with COVID-19 and while the fever, diarrhea, and vomiting are gone, I'm really worried about some new symptoms. I'm dealing with severe chest pain, chest tightness, and breathing problems. Right now, I'm on mechanical oxygen support at home. My PT and D-Dimer plasma levels are pretty high, and there's a concern about pulmonary embolism. I've been having excessive sweating for the past two months, leg cramps, and some occasional swelling, which is concerning me even more. My chest X-ray came back clear, but I read that X-rays might not always catch a pulmonary embolism. Could you tell me what I should do next and what would the treatment be if it is a pulmonary embolism?
