Question

I'm really worried because I was diagnosed with TB about 8 months ago, and now I've started having this phlegm and some occasional pain in my upper chest. I'm not sure if this is normal or if something else might be going on. Could you tell me what might be causing these symptoms?

Question

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?

Question

I smoke a little, just about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day, and sometimes I also smoke marijuana. The last time I smoked marijuana, my throat started choking and it hurt a bit. While the pain has stopped, I still feel a bit of chokiness. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

Question

I've been dealing with some chest issues after a trip to Delhi about two months ago, probably because of the pollution there. Ive got this persistent chest pain that feels like its stinging in the center and a couple of spots on the left and right. Theres also this thin, transparent, frothy mucus that comes out, especially when I get irritated, but strangely, Im not coughing at all. I've been in touch with doctors at the civil hospital in Gandhinagar. Theyve done a couple of chest X-rays, sputum tests, and one CBNet, and everything came back clearno TB or anything. But the mucus and post-nasal drip wont go away, and the chest pains gotten worse over the last couple of days. What could be going on?
