I'm taking gastric tablets like Rabiros IT, and I'm also on tuberculosis medication such as RCinex, Combutol, and Pyzina. I'm a bit worried about whether the gastric tablets will affect my TB treatment. Can they interfere with each other?

I'm a bit worried after my spirometry test for a job preemployment check. The doctor mentioned something about a mild restriction. Does this mean I might be considered unfit for the job? I've attached my report to get some clarity on this. Can you help me understand what it all means?

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about six months now. Initially, it was just a cough, but recently I've noticed some blood when I cough, though it's only happened once or twice. I went to NIMS and they did an X-ray and endoscopy, but didn't find anything and they prescribed me Reswas and Trenxa syrup. Unfortunately, the cough hasn't improved and it tends to get worse at night. I'm feeling okay otherwise, but this nighttime cough is really starting to bother me. Could you suggest where I should go next or what kind of specialist I should consult?

I'm really concerned because I've been having black-colored phlegm for about a month and a half now. I quit smoking two months ago, and I'm wondering what could be causing this. I've attached some photos for reference. Can you help me understand what's going on? I'm feeling pretty scared.
