I'm on medication for Tuberculosis and it's been 5 days now, but I'm feeling unbelievably weak, exhausted, and feverish. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

I've been dealing with some gastric reflux issues and I've noticed this weird pattern where after a few minutes of breathing normally, I find myself needing to take a deep breath or I start yawning, but then I can't really complete the yawn. It's like it's stuck or something. Sometimes my nostrils also feel like they get blocked and I'm wondering if all these could be connected somehow? I've been using inhalers for my breathing problems, but I'm starting to feel like they might not be enough on their own. Could my weight be playing a role in this too? I'm just a bit confused and would love some advice.

yes there is a connection

I was at a government hospital last month because I was losing weight and having a lot of vomiting. After a month of tests, they started me on tuberculosis meds. Some doctors told me I have TB, but others weren't sure. I'm really confused because I don't have the usual TB symptoms like coughing. I'm worried because it's been 21 days on the medication, but the vomiting hasn't stopped. Could you help me figure out if I really have TB or what's going on?

do CBNAAT to confirm the TB , for vomiting take tab vasograin

I'm really worried about my friend who has sarcoidosis and bronchial asthma; the doctor recommended an inhaler and the medicine ecosprin AV75. I'm concerned about the possible side effects of ecosprin AV75. Also, how long should my friend keep taking it? Is it something they should continue indefinitely or stop at some point?

Ecosprin AV 75 is a combination medication containing Aspirin and Atorvastatin. It is commonly used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in patients with cardiovascular disease. Some common side effects of Ecosprin AV 75 include stomach upset, heartburn, dizziness, and easy bruising. In rare cases, it can also cause more serious side effects such as stomach bleeding or liver problems. The duration of Ecosprin AV 75 treatment should be determined by your friend's doctor based on their individual medical condition. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions regarding when to stop or continue the medication. In general, Ecosprin AV 75 is usually taken long-term to prevent cardiovascular events, but the duration may vary depending on the specific situation. It is important not to stop taking Ecosprin AV 75 without consulting the doctor first, as sudden discontinuation can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
