I'm experiencing some concerning symptoms after being prescribed certain medicines for my breathing issues and high IGE levels. I've been taking Omnacortil, starting at 40 mg and tapering down, but after finishing the 30 mg dose yesterday, I decided not to take it today because I've been having blurred vision, confusion, and feeling really weak. I've also stopped taking Histafree M two days ago, and I finished my course of L Cin 500. The only thing I'm still taking is Zincovit. Could these symptoms be caused by the medication, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried and would love some advice.

View allI'm really worried because I was asked to leave the UAE due to a lung x-ray showing a scar from what they say is old TB, even though I don't have active TB right now. I really want to return to Dubai but I'm not sure what steps to take to prove I'm healthy enough to go back. Is there a way to legally and safely address this scar with treatment or medications? Have you dealt with cases like this before where people needed to show proof of treatment to re-enter a country? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Consult a pulmonologist in your home country for a thorough evaluation, and obtain a medical certificate, including a chest CT scan, sputum tests, and blood tests, confirming the TB is inactive, then, with this documentation, apply for a fitness certificate from the UAE embassy or consulate, which may require additional testing or documentation, to facilitate your return to Dubai

I've been dealing with this breathing issue for a while now. I've seen several doctors and had X-rays and blood tests over the last 4 years, and thankfully, they're saying I don't have asthma. One doctor mentioned I have some symptoms of bronchitis, but still, it's not that. For the past year, I've been trying homeopathic medicines, but in the last 6 months, there's been no real improvement. Actually, since yesterday, breathing has become a struggle again, and it all started after I drank some very cold sugarcane juice the afternoon of the day before yesterday. There's also intense pain right in the middle of my chest. My parents are really worried, and it's stressful for all of us. Can you suggest a specialist in Mumbai who might be able to help?

Im feeling okay right now, but Im concerned. What should I be doing after being exposed to so much dust, even if Im not having any immediate problems?
