I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on the AKT4 kit for her pulmonary TB, and ever since she started the medicine, she's been feeling completely exhausted, both morning and night. She's also experiencing dizziness and itchy skin at night, which is unusual for her. These symptoms only appeared after she began her treatment. Could these be side effects from the TB medication? Should we consider adjusting her dosage? She also has high blood pressure, but no diabetes. What do you think we should do?

I'm feeling these weird bubbling sensations on the left side of my lung and sometimes on the lower right side too. I've been worrying since I used to smoke for about 4 years, but I've quit now. Could this be something serious? Should I get it checked out?
