I've been dealing with a mild pain in my right chest for the past three months, and I'm starting to worry. I don't have a cough or anything serious like that, but for some reason, I've gotten in the habit of exhaling this white mucus from my right lung and spitting it out, like, over 200 times a day. It feels like I can't stop this habit without feeling a kind of burning sensation in my lung, like something's there and it starts acting up. The mucus is pure white, not bloody, sometimes even gel-like. Could this be causing the chest pain? Should I be worried about this habit?

View allI'm working a night shift from 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM, and I've been having this issue where my breathing stops while I'm asleep. When I wake up in the morning, I end up vomiting, and there's also this white spit. It's honestly quite worrying, and I could really use some advice on what's going on here. Any insights would be appreciated.
it might be due to your bowel disturbances, take tablet pantop for 3 days

I'm 29 and had pulmonary TB a while ago. I went through a full year of treatment. It's been about six months now, and I've started experiencing some chest pain on and off. It's really affecting my sleep because the discomfort keeps me up. I don't have a cough or fever, and my x-ray is clear. I'm really confused about what's causing this chest pain. Can you help figure out what's going on?
Hi, it's good to hear that you completed treatment for pulmonary TB. The chest pain you are experiencing could be due to post-tuberculosis pleurisy, which is inflammation of the lining of the lungs. I recommend taking Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day after meals for a few days to help reduce the inflammation and relieve the chest pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the painful area for further relief. If the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm still coughing even after being off TB treatment for a couple of months. I never really stopped coughing since I was first diagnosed. I've been free of TB for two months now. I really want to get back to normal life. They checked my sputum again, and it came back negative. Im just wondering what I should do next?
