Is it okay if I take my TB medicine in the evening even though it's supposed to be taken at night? I haven't skipped a dose, it's just the timing that's different. Let me know if that's a problem.

I've been dealing with a breathing issue for the past three months. I can breathe fine through my nose, but when I try using my mouth, it's like I can't get a full breath, and sometimes I feel a pain in my chest. It's been worrying me. Could there be something going on with my lungs or chest that I should get checked out?

I'm looking over the HRCT report and noticed that my SpO2 levels are fluctuating. They usually stay above 90, but I'm concerned about why there's any fluctuation at all. Can you help explain what might be causing this?

unfortunately i couldn't see any of your hrct report attached. SPO2 is fluctuating , keep the pulse oximeter for 2 minutes and then record it

I'm really worried about my wife's health. She had blood in her vomit, and an X-ray showed an infection. Our general doctor advised a CT scan, which revealed a cavity in her lungs. We did a sputum test to check for TB, but it came back negative. While she's undergoing further checks, I'm just really anxious to understand what other tests might help pinpoint the root cause of this. She's 31, so any insight would be really helpful.
