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?

View allI've been noticing some blood-colored mucus once in a while over the past few weeks, and for the past two months, it's been feeling like my breathing is sometimes obstructed. I just got a body check and everything came back normal, including the blood test, but they didnt explain why I'm seeing the blood-colored mucus. Is this something I should be worried about, like could it be a sign of lung cancer?
X-ray chest pa view,complete blood count,esr,C-reactive protein ,IGE levels and sputum for AFB and microscopy is advised to the patient.

I was diagnosed with TB after they found a left pleural effusion and completed a 6-month treatment, using Acurit4 for 2 months and Acurit3 for the other 4 months. Now everything's good and I don't have any symptoms. I'm wondering, is it safe for me to get the COVID vaccine now? Is there a specific one I should be going for, like Covishield or Covaxin?
can take

I'm really worried about my TB treatment. My first doctor prescribed AKT4, but I found out it might be less than what's needed for my weight, which is 67kg. So I talked to another pulmonologist who recommended I switch to DOTS and do the full 6-month course. I've already taken AKT4 for a month before switching. I'm just concerneddid the switch affect my treatment at all? Should I be tested for multi-drug resistant TB?
no it will not effect . continue the same treatment
