I've been dealing with a chronic case of tuberculosis, and I'm under treatment for it. Lately, I've been wondering if my habit of excessive masturbation could be affecting my health or interfering with the treatment. Is it something I should be worried about?

I've been having this weird feeling where I get short of breath, but I'm not coughing or feeling any chest pain. It's strange because sometimes it feels like I just can't take a deep breath, but then it kind of eases up when I eat something. Should I be worried about this, or is it something I can just ignore? What could be causing it?

take tablet pantoprazole once a day for 5 days

I'm experiencing some chest congestion and it's making it hard for me to breathe properly.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hey, my father-in-law just found out he tested positive for COVID and his oxygen saturation levels are hovering around 92, 93, sometimes 94. Do you think we need to get him to the hospital right away, or is it okay to wait? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice on this.

Yes . Once the patient is stabilized patient can be discharged.
