I've been dealing with a pretty bad indigestion issue. So, on June 1st, 2020, I just up and quit smoking. I was smoking about 45 cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, but I started cutting down in 2018 and finally stopped after two years. The first few months, I had headaches and an upset stomach, but recently I've had a bit of trouble breathing. When I do things like running or cardio workouts, I feel okay, but if I miss a day, I notice some shortness of breath and my throat feels tight. This has been going on for a month, and I've been feeling kinda weak, too. Is this normal, or could it be something else? I don't have any other symptoms.

I'm really worried because I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB last October and just finished a 9-month ATT. I was in close contact with my wife the whole time. Is there a chance I could have spread it to her before or during my treatment? I'm concerned because they never did a sputum test on meI didnt have a cough or any other symptoms. My Mantoux test was positive, and a CT scan showed multiple lumps. They did an EBUS TBNA too. Right now, my wife doesnt show any symptoms, but should we be concerned?

test your wife also for tuberculosis even without symptoms

I'm curious if there's a blood test that can help understand how severe my ILD is and whether the disease is stable or getting worse since I can't have an HRCT all the time. Also, if I'm taking the right medications after being diagnosed with ILD, how many years could I potentially expect to live?

ILD is a curable disease, need not worry

I'm dealing with a viral flu and it's been about two days now. I visited my doctor today, and he mentioned I've got a bit of wheezing on top of everything. He suggested I take Pulmoclear tablets twice daily, once in the morning and once at night, for a week, alongside the antibiotics I'm already on. I've never taken Pulmoclear before and it's my first time experiencing wheezing. Is this medication safe for me? I'm pretty anxious about trying something new and don't know how my body will react or if it's going to work well for me. Could you give me some advice?

Continue tab.pulmoclear oraly ,twice daily for 5 days.Rest continue all the medications.
