I'm really having trouble with deep breathing and I've been coughing up brown mucus pretty often. How normal is this supposed to be? It's been over a month on medication but I'm not seeing much improvement. How long does something like this usually take to get better?

View allI'm currently on tuberculosis treatment and taking Rcinex and Pyzina 1750. At night, I take Folfit. I'm wondering if it's okay to switch Folfit to FDson MP Forte since I've noticed they have the same chemical makeup. Can you let me know if that's a safe switch?
you can use

I've been having some trouble with my breathing for the last couple of months. It feels like I'm trying to take deep breaths, but the oxygen isn't reaching my stomach, and this happens all day long. Usually, my SpO2 level is above 98, but when I'm having this issue, it drops by about 12 points. However, when I wake up in the morning and check with an oximeter, it shows 99 or 100 for about a minute. I do brisk walking for an hour every morning, and while I feel a bit short of breath, its not too bad. I dont have a fever, and an HRCT scan only showed a tiny linear fibrotic band in my right lung, which my doctor says isnt anything serious. All my tests like CBC, Lipid Profile, ECG, LFT, KFT, CRP, ESR, Thyroid, and Urine Examination are normal. My Spirometry test was normal too. I do tend to have high blood pressure, and my fasting glucose level was 107, but my HbA1c is 5. I'm really worried. What should I do?
it might be because of anxiety, try doing some yoga kind of exercises

I'm really worried because I tested IGG positive in July and had an unknown fever in June. Now I'm experiencing a burning sensation in my chest and stomach, and sometimes it's a bit hard to breathe. I also feel dizzy all day and can't seem to have a restful night's sleep. I read somewhere that people could have lung issues after having COVID. Can you please advise on what might be going on?
take tab pantop 40mg for 3 days
