I'm feeling a bit anxious because I've been having shortness of breath ever since I got my first dose of Covaxin. I did see a doctor, and they suggested I take Broclear and get an X-ray. I got the X-ray results back, and they were mostly normal except for this note about increased bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean, and what steps should I take next?

I just moved to Bengaluru and for the past four nights, I've been waking up in the middle of the night struggling to breathe. Before coming here, I was getting Ayurvedic treatment for Allergic Rhinitis but stopped once I moved. I'm worried if this breathing issue is somehow connected to the Allergic Rhinitis. Could it be related?

yes do to allergens

After being on tuberculosis treatment for 2.5 months, I've started coughing up blood. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

After 2.5 months of TB treatment, blood coming from the mouth after coughing could be a sign of a serious complication known as hemoptysis. This can occur due to damage to the lungs caused by the TB infection. It is important to address this issue promptly. I would recommend you to consult your healthcare provider immediately for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, continue with your TB treatment as prescribed. Your doctor may consider adjusting your treatment regimen or providing additional medications to help control the bleeding.
