I've been feeling breathless for the past couple of weeks, but my X-ray and pulmonary function test came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about Telecast L. Can you help me understand what this is and how it might help with my breathlessness? I'm starting to worry since everything looks normal on the tests.

I'm really concerned about my husband's situation. He's 33 and has been dealing with pleural effusion TB. It's been about a month and a half since he started taking the ATS 9 medication, but his chest pain hasn't gotten any better. The current chest X-ray shows almost all the fluid is gone, which is good, but the chest pain hasn't changed since before he began the meds. Should I be worried that the pain is still there, or is there something else we should be doing?

take pantop 40g for 3 days if it doesn't resolve do and ECG AND CHEST X Ray then proceed fruther

My dad has been dealing with COPD and asthma for the past decade, and now hes got to use oxygen at home around the clock. Were using a cylinder with the supply kept at point 1, but Im wondering if switching to an oxygen concentrator would be a good idea. Would an oxygen concentrator be enough for his needs, or should we stick with the cylinder?

yes you can use, make sure oxygen saturation is maintained
