Ive been having chest pain for a few days now and Im really worried. I want to find out how much TB and COVID have affected my chest. Should I just get an HRCT scan to check for both or is there another specific scan I need to do?

I'm really worried because after getting my x-ray and CT report at the civil hospital, the doctor mentioned something about tuberculosis. Could you explain what this means for me and what I should do next?

I've been dealing with a really bad cold and cough for a week now, and my nose is constantly running. It's making it hard to breathe, and the chest pain is pretty severe. I saw a general physician, but there's been no relief. The coughing and cold are making so much mucus build up, and the pain in my chest is unbearable. I'm feeling really weak and just can't shake this cold. What should I do?

I'm having some troubles with my breathing and I'm feeling really worried. It's like I can't take a deep breath properly and my brain feels like it's not functioning properly. I've been feeling constantly tired and my head feels pressured, almost like the oxygen isn't reaching my brain even though I'm breathing normally. It's a consistent issue that just doesn't go away. Could there be something wrong with how the oxygen is getting to my brain? I'm really looking for some guidance on this. Please help me understand what's going on.
