I've been experiencing this bizarre sensation latelywhenever I try to lift something heavy, my lungs start to hurt and my breathing gets all rapid. It feels like my lungs are almost trying to escape out my mouth, and it's honestly pretty scary. Could you recommend any effective medication to help with this? I'm looking for some relief and would appreciate your advice.

Experiencing pain and rapid breathing when lifting heavy objects could be related to several factors, including musculoskeletal strain, improper lifting techniques, or underlying respiratory issues. While medication can help manage symptoms, its important to identify and address the root cause. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, consider avoiding heavy lifting, using proper lifting techniques, and practicing deep breathing exercises to help manage your symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may provide temporary relief, but please consult your doctor before taking any medication.

View allI'm getting really concerned about my health. Last August, after losing a lot of weight, I tested positive for TB Gold. I tried Ayurvedic treatment and it seemed to help because by 2021 my results were negative. But now, I'm losing weight again and my tests are showing positive for tuberculosis. An ultrasound even showed Kochs tuberculosis. I'm really worried and wondering what medicines I could take for this. Any advice?
