I'm getting really concerned about my health. Last August, after losing a lot of weight, I tested positive for TB Gold. I tried Ayurvedic treatment and it seemed to help because by 2021 my results were negative. But now, I'm losing weight again and my tests are showing positive for tuberculosis. An ultrasound even showed Kochs tuberculosis. I'm really worried and wondering what medicines I could take for this. Any advice?

View allI've been having some breathing issues whenever the seasons change, and it's been happening for the past few years. It usually comes and goes on its own, but this time, it's been going on for about 23 days. I'm also feeling a bit of heaviness in the upper center of my chest, which feels really strange when I breathe. I don't have a fever, sore throat, or other flu-like symptoms. A few days ago, I started taking Grilinctus because it was recommended by a doctor for the same issue before, along with some other medicines that I can't remember now. I even got an Asthalin inhaler for emergencies, though I've never used an inhaler before, and I haven't tried this one yet either. While the breathing problem seems slightly better, the chest heaviness is making me anxious. Could this be asthma or possibly a heart problem? It's kind of stressing me out because it's hard to see a doctor right now with everything going on. Any advice on what I should do?
yes you might have asthma ,just do some confirmatiory tests

I'm experiencing some issues that started last night and I'm a bit worried. My Spo2 levels fluctuate between 97 and 98, but they dip to 95 or 96 if I lie down at a certain angle. I've also been dealing with gastric problems and a heavy chest. Whenever I take a deep breath, it triggers a cough. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

I'm kind of worried because I finished my TB treatment a year ago, but now I'm experiencing chest pain, although I don't have a cough or anything like that. I'm just wondering, is it possible that the TB could be back even though my reports aren't showing any signs of it?
Patient is advised ecg,chest xray pa view and also sputum for AFB and microscopy.
