I'm having trouble with my breathing and hear a hissing sound when I breathe, especially when I start running. I also feel a tightness in my chest, and I end up coughing a lot. Should I be worried about this, and is there something specific I should be doing or looking into?

View allMy wife got diagnosed with TB back in March, and we've been on top of her treatment with a combo of meds like rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide according to her weight. Her haemoglobin levels are pretty low at around 8, plus she's dealing with an iron deficiency, so she's taking iron supplements, folic acid, and vitamin C as well. But for the past 10 days, she's been experiencing pain in her back and around her neck, and I'm just really concerned. Could this be something like TB of the spine? If that's what it is, and she's already on TB meds, what do we do next? What other tests should she possibly have aside from the LFT? Would love some guidance on this.

I had a right-sided pleural effusion back in July 2015, and even though I'm off medication now, I still feel pain on the right side when I take a deep breath or yawn. It doesn't feel normal. My last ESR was 10, done in January 2016. Can you help me understand what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing residual pain from your previous pleural effusion. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you may benefit from using a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like diclofenac (Voltaren) gel applied to the affected area for localized relief. It's important to follow the recommended dosage instructions for any medication you take. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've had asthma since I was a kid and used to take homeopathy for it, which seemed to help. It was pretty bad back then, with inhalers and nebulisers being a part of my daily routine. It eventually went away, thankfully. But now, after 15 years, Im having trouble again. My breathing feels offI have a slight cold and have been wheezing a lot since last night. I really dont want to go back on steroids. I've tried taking steam, but its not doing much. What should I do?
avoid allergens, drink warm water , do breathing exercises
