I've been experiencing this weird chest congestion and discomfort for about six months now. I went to see a cardiologist and got an echo test done, and they said my heart is fine. There's no pain coming from the heart area either. But this annoying chest pressure just keeps coming and going. It's not interfering with my daily activities, but I have been feeling more tired than usual. Breathing isn't an issue, thankfully. However, today I noticed a sore throat along with the chest congestion. There's no mucus with blood or anything alarming like that, but the discomfort is still there from my throat to my chest. Could you offer some advice on this?

I'm currently on medications for MDR TB and have been taking them for the past two months. For the last 15 days or so, I've been experiencing a lot of sweating during both the day and night. Is this something that's common with the treatment, or should I be worried about something else?

I'm really worried because despite following the treatment of Cepodem OD, Ivermectin, Doxycycline, Azithromycin, PanD, and a multivitamin my SPO2 levels are still below 80 and there's no sign of improvement. What could be going wrong and what should I do next?

I'm a bit worried as I recently got a PFT report back, and it mentioned something about Small Airway Obstruction. I've also been dealing with this chronic cough for a while now. Should I be concerned about this? Are there any other tests I should consider doing to get a clearer picture of what's going on?
