I'm really worried because I've been experiencing shortness of breath, especially after meals and at night. I've gone through all the heart-related tests and they've come back normal, so I'm unsure what's causing it. Can you help me figure out the root cause of my breathing problem and what I can do to solve it?

I'm really worried because I've been rejected for a medical check for Kuwait due to two white spots on the left side of my lungs. I feel stranded since I can't fly even though I think I'm medically fit. Is there any hope of getting rid of these spots? I had TB when I was almost 3 years old22 years ago now. I'm 24. Is there any treatment I can consider?
I understand how frustrating this situation must be for you. The white spots on your lungs are likely scar tissue from your past TB. While treatments like bronchoscopy or surgical options can sometimes help, they may not always clear the scars entirely. Consulting a pulmonologist for a detailed evaluation is the best step.
