Question 1

I've been having breathing problems for the past couple of years. My doctor said it's bronchitis, but I'm really worried because when I try to inhale, sometimes it feels like the air just doesn't reach my lungs. I have to try four or five times to get a full breath, and lately, I've been feeling a mild chest pain along with a cough and this uncomfortable pressure in my chest that makes me anxious. It even makes my body feel cold. Could you please tell me what's going on and what kind of treatment I should look into?

Question 2

I have two oximeters and I'm getting different readings from them. One shows 95 and the other shows 98 when I use them on the same finger. I'm not sure which one to trust. My friend's oximeter once showed 92 for me, but when I went to the hospital and checked with the electronic screen, it always showed 98. How can I figure out which reading is accurate?

Question 3

I've been dealing with TB for about 4 months now and taking meds for it. My recent CT scan showed some fibrotic changes in my lungs, and I occasionally feel chest pain and some inflammation. Should I be worried about this or do you think it'll improve on its own? I'm also preparing for a civil services exam and they check lung function in the medical test, so I'm a bit anxious about it possibly affecting my results. What should I do?
