I've been feeling really sleepy all day even though I get a good night's sleep. My parents have mentioned that my breathing stops for a few seconds while I'm asleep, and I also have a snoring problem. Could these things be related to why I'm so tired? What might be causing it?

I was diagnosed with TB back in July and accidentally took Akurit 3 instead of Akurit 4. Although I'm on medication, I'm still having mild fevers and don't feel like I'm getting much better. I saw another doctor, and he prescribed Mycurit 4. I'm worried and wondering why I'm still experiencing fever. Could there be something else going on?

I'm really worried and confused. My husband tested positive for COVID-19 after his third RTPCR test. We consulted three different doctors, and now his HRCT chest scan shows mild involvement with a score of 625. Can he recover at home with medication? Every doctor seems to have a different opinion, and Im not sure which advice to follow. What should I do?

I'm a bit confused about the differences between asthma and COPD. They both seem similar with the breathing issues, so how can I tell them apart? Also, someone mentioned that having COPD could complicate things if you need surgery. Should I be worried about any specific problems if someone with COPD has to undergo surgery?

Asthma is seen in childhood, whereas COPD is seen i adults above 40 years of age.Asthma is triggered by allergens like pollen or dust , whereas copd is due to smoking.Asthma airway obstruction is reversible whereas COPD obstruction is irreversible Asthma is treated by inflammation and copd is treated with bronchodilators. A diagnostic spirometry differntiates betweeen asthma and copd.
