I've been dealing with mediastinal lymph node TB and found out through EBUS FNAC and Genexpert. I'm currently on a 5-month treatment and have gained about 9 kg since starting it. Lately, I've noticed something odd with my cough. I seem to cough around 30 to 40 times a day, but it hits me in these dry cough attacks. It'll start with maybe 7 to 8 back-to-back coughs, then I clear my throat, and it stops. This happens like 3 to 4 times a day. There's no mucus, just throat clearing. But it's strange because it doesn't mess with my sleep or anything. Could this be an allergy or is it something I should be worried about?

View allI'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 trying to understand the normal pulmonary flow for a tall adult. Does having high pulmonary flow automatically mean someone has pulmonary artery hypertension? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate some clarity on this.
The normal pulmonary flow in a tall adult is approximately 4-6 liters per minute. High pulmonary flow can be an indicator of pulmonary artery hypertension. If you suspect pulmonary artery hypertension, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been trying to wrap my head around the possibility of having asthma. I'm 30 and just got some tests done - like the x-ray and CT pulmonary angiogram - and they both came back normal. I also did a Spirometry test, and my FVC and FeV1 values were above 110, which should be a good sign, right? The doc mentioned I have a mild wheezing sound now and then, but not always. I even did a six-minute walking test with jogging, and my spo2 levels before and after were 99 and 98. I usually climb four floors, do brisk walking, jogging, and some skipping exercises without feeling breathless, although sometimes I think I might get breathless, but it never really happens. Should I be worried about asthma, or could it be something else?
