I'm really worried about my mom. For the last 67 months, she's been experiencing excessive yawning during the day. We've done all kinds of tests like chest x-ray, ECG, echo, TMT, and even basic blood work, but everything's coming back normal. She often mentions feeling like there's air stuck in her left chest, and yawning seems to give her some relief. Sometimes she even has chest pains. Could you help us figure out what's going on?

I'm having some trouble after using Kala hit spray on my balcony; I might've used too much. Ever since then, I've been having breathing problems and discomfort. I saw a cardiologist who ran several tests, like hemoglobin, thyroid, chest x-ray, and echo, but they all came back fine. Even with that, I'm still feeling uneasy and it's hard to breathe. What should I do?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I'm having trouble with shortness of breath, and it feels like I can't exhale properly. I keep yawning a lot, and it only helps for a while. I've had a chest X-ray, ECG, and CBC, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure and oxygen levels are fine too. I don't have asthma or pneumonia, but my eosinophils count is a bit high at 8.6 when the range is 0-6.0, though the absolute count is within the range. This breathing thing happened before but didn't bother me as much. I've seen a cardiologist and a general physician, and they've said it's due to anxiety, but I can't wrap my head around anxiety causing this all day and night. Do you have any suggestions on what might be going on or what I can do to get some relief?

anxiety- do meditation regularly

I'm really worried about my mom. She had an X-ray done because of a recommendation from a clinic doctor, and the report mentioned something like haziness in the right middle and lower lung zones, possibly pneumonitis. When we took the report back to the same doctor, she said it's TB and gave us a prescription, including something called AKT FD KIT for 30 days, Prohance powder to take twice with milk, and Becosules for a month. I'm just not sure if we should start this 6-month treatment right away. Do you think it's a good idea to get a second opinion before starting the medication? What do you advise?

Advised sputum for AFB ,microscopy and CBNAAT study for the confimation.If positive ATT is advised for 6 months duration.
