I'm having trouble with my breathing and it's been going on for about two months now. My chest X-ray came out clear, but I've also been dealing with a sore throat and no fever. My temperature is normal. I'm obese with a BMI of 34, and I'm really worried about my breathing issues. My SpO2 levels range between 96 and 99. My grandma has asthma, so I'm wondering if there's a connection. Im using the Seroflo 250 inhaler and Ezicas nasal spray, but Im not sure if I need to do more. Ive got a PFT report from a year ago, and my peak flow meter always reads above 500. Could any of this relate to my breathing difficulties, and what can I do to improve this situation?

I'm really concerned about this - can pulmonary TB come back after you've been treated successfully and your sputum test from a bronchoscopy is negative? Also, is it normal to sometimes feel a bit of pain in the lungs while breathing if you recovered from TB and finished the treatment just last year?

Yes ,it can re-occur. Symtoms are normal.

Could there be any chance that lung lesions, especially if the largest is about 2cm, might be cancerous? What are the probabilities of that happening? I'm really worried. Can you help me understand?

I'm really worried about how my body is reacting to the ATT medications. It seems like none of the four drugs are tolerable, whether I take them alone or together. I've started getting ulcers in my mouth and throat, and I'm constantly feeling weak and tired. Could you please advise on how I can manage these side effects or if there are any alternative treatments I should consider?
