I'm really concerned about my breathing issues that have been going on for 8 months now. It gets worse when I lie down, and when I wake up, I find myself burping a lot. There's also this feeling like somethings stuck in my throat every couple of days. After doing physical activities, I struggle with rapid breathing. I've even had experiences with chest tightness and a bloated stomach. Plus, I can't sleep in air-conditioned rooms or in cooler temperatures. What could be going on, and what should I do?

I'm having this sensation where my chest feels really tight, like there's gas trapped in there, especially when I'm lying down. Sometimes, I wake up suddenly with this kind of unsettling sensation shooting up to my brain, and there's this bitter taste in my mouth. It's starting to worry me a bit, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help?

I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

Patient is advised x-ray chest and sputum for AFB and mmicroscopy.

I'm really concerned about my IBS. Is it something that can actually be cured? How long does it usually take to see improvements? And I'm really struggling with the bloating part of it. Are there any tips or remedies to help stop it?

-IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) isn't typically "curable," but it can be managed effectively with dietary changes, stress management, and medication. The duration of relief varies, but with the right approach, symptoms like bloating can improve over time.
