I'm really worried because my latest x-ray showed water in my right lung. I've been dealing with a dry cough and a bit of chest pain when I take a deep breath for the past 8 weeks. Could this be a sign of tuberculosis?

I'm feeling a bit concerned because my family doctor suggested I get my chest X-ray PA report attested due to some weakness I've been experiencing. I'm a little anxious since I had a history of tuberculosis back in 2018. Could you help me understand if everything looks okay in this report?

Patient is advised sputum for AFB and microscopy.

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 a bit confused about my mom's diagnosis. Her CT scan showed something like patchy airspace acinarization and some nodular radio opacities, and she has prominent bronchovascular markings. The doctor said she's got tuberculosis and put her on this Rizorine kit. But what's really bugging me is the doctor mentioned it's not contagious. Is it common for TB to be non-contagious, or could there be some misunderstanding here?

Yes it is not contagious,as we all are vaccinated for it,but if you are weak it might infect you,be safe and follow hygiene practices
