I'm just a little concerned after my recent visit to the panel physician. They did an X-ray and found a spot, then mentioned it might be linked to Tuberculosis. So, now I'm scheduled for a sputum test over the next three mornings. But here's the thingI've got none of the typical TB symptoms like coughing, breathing issues, or losing weight. I'm really curiouscan an X-ray actually show definite signs of TB, or is there a chance it's something else?

I'm an asthma patient and I've been taking medicines like Montek LC and Seraflow 250mg rotocaps. I started this routine because of frequent asthma attacks since October 2014. Initially, I took them every day for three months, but then moved to only taking them when an attack happens. Lately, I've been having other issues like significant belly swelling, lots of gas, breathing problems, and constipation. Could you please help me understand these symptoms and suggest what I should do?

I've been having a lot of trouble with my breathing and seem to be coughing all the time. It's becoming a regular thing, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. It feels like a never-ending cycle, and I'm just not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious, or is there something I can do to help ease these symptoms?

Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.
