I've been dealing with a blocked nose that suddenly turned runny, but what's really worrying me is this constant need to yawn or take deep breaths. This started just yesterday. I'm 19 years old and weigh 95 kgs. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What could be causing this breathing issue?

I've been noticing that I only take deep breaths when I think about it, but when I'm busy or asleep, I don't feel the need to. I saw my family doctor, and he told me to do exercise, but I'm constantly thinking about my breathing now and it's making me a bit worried. I've had an ECG and x-ray, and everything's clear. Could you give me some advice?

it is because of your anxiety, so reduce your stress

I've been having some chest pain recently, like a sharp sting right in the center and to the sides. Finished my TB treatment about a year ago, and it's been 9 months since that. Did some tests like sputum, CBNAT, and X-rays; all came back clear. But for the past couple of months, I've had this mucus issue. No coughing really, but if I try to irritate it, some white mucus comes out. Do you think it's possible for TB to be coming back, or could it be something else?
