I'm wondering why I've been needing to take deep breaths every 5 to 10 minutes over the past 5 days. My x-ray and ECG came back normal, so I'm really puzzled. It's starting to affect my ability to focus at work, though I don't seem to have any issues at night. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to stop this?

I've just started taking Akurit 4 tablets for mild TB, and I've noticed that my urine has turned orange since this morning. Is this something that usually happens, or should I be really concerned about it? I'm feeling a bit anxious and would love to get some clarity on this.

If the orange-colored urine is your only concern, there is no need to worryit is a common, non-threatening side effect. However, always feel free to consult your doctor if you feel unsure or develop additional symptoms.
