I'm feeling pretty uneasy these past three days because of some breathing issues. It's odd because I can run for 2 km without any trouble, but when I'm lying down, I'm experiencing shortness of breath. I'm also dealing with a bit of a dry cough. My blood pressure and oxygen levels are normal, though. What could be causing these symptoms?

View allI'm really worried about my brother. He's a regular smoker and has been having a morning cough, occasional breathing issues, and sometimes even chest pain. He recently got some test results back, and it seems like his hemoglobin is high, his PCV is at the upper limit, and his vitamin D is low. I'm not sure what these mean or what steps he should take next?
do chest x ray

I'm currently dealing with MDR TB and I've been trying some Ayurvedic treatments. I feel like I'm improving, but I'm not sure what the next step should be. Is there one specific test that can confirm if I still have tuberculosis, or should I look at multiple options? I'm really curious about the best way to track my progress and ensure I'm on the right path.
TB Gold standard test is sputum examination for AFB and microscopy and also Interferon gamma release essay( IGRA).
