I'm feeling like my chest and lungs are always tight, especially after jogging or even just walking, I don't feel any relief or openness. I usually just smoke 1 to 2 cigarettes a day and drink alcohol on Sundays, but this tight feeling in my lungs just doesn't go away. Could this be related to my smoking habits or maybe something else? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

View allI'm dealing with allergic bronchitis for the past year and someone suggested that I should see a pulmonologist. I'm not sure what I should do next. Could you help me understand if seeing a specialist is the right move here? Or is there something else I should be considering?
Visiting a Pulmonologist is an excellent step in managing your allergic bronchitis; before the consultation, maintain a symptom journal, note down your medical history, and prepare a list of questions to ask the doctor; expect the Pulmonologist to perform a physical examination, review your test results, and possibly order additional tests like spirometry, peak flow, or allergy tests to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medications, lifestyle modifications, and avoidance of allergens.

I've been feeling really out of breath at night and I'm dealing with a chest infection and a constant cough. I'm wondering if taking the tablet Theoasthalin would help with my symptoms. Can you give me some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it?
Yes, continue same treatment.

I'm a bit confused and worried about my health situation. I had a lump on the right side of my neck and got an FNAC done, which pointed to tuberculosis. I went ahead with a Mantoux test, and it came back with a really large red induration, like 29mm. My chest X-ray shows bilateral hilar prominence, and my ESR is raised too. But here's the thing, I don't have any symptoms - no weakness, no cough, nothing at all. What's going on? Should I be concerned even without symptoms?
without symptoms also tuberculosis will be present
