I'm feeling a bit concerned because all my test results are fine, except for my X-ray, which shows something off. The bottom three ribs on one side aren't visible, and there's a thin layer around my lung. I'm wondering, can this layer be treated or removed with medication? I also feel some discomfort when I take a deep breath. Any advice on what might be going on?

View allI'm currently on tuberculosis treatment and taking Rcinex and Pyzina 1750. At night, I take Folfit. I'm wondering if it's okay to switch Folfit to FDson MP Forte since I've noticed they have the same chemical makeup. Can you let me know if that's a safe switch?

I'm really concerned about my oxygen levels; my SPO2 seems to fluctuate from 89 to 99, and it's usually more stable between 92 and 95. I also have frequent throat infections because of sinusitis draining into my throat and occasionally deal with upper respiratory infections. Could these issues be affecting my oxygen levels? My recent master checkup was normal chest X-ray, ECG, and echo all clear. Ive been using a fingertip home pulse oximeter for measurement. Lately, the throat infections are happening more often. What should I consider or do next?
Frequent throat infections and sinusitis can cause fluctuations in your SPO2 readings, especially with post-nasal drip affecting your airway. However, since your chest X-ray, ECG, and echo are normal, its less likely to be a major underlying issue. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult with your doctor if the infections persist or worsen.
