I've been having this really odd experience where my oxygen levels are consistently around 98 to 100, and my blood pressure is at 12074, which seems normal. But at night, I often feel like I'm not getting enough air or like I can't breathe, even though the oximeter says I'm at 99 to 100. It'll wake me up, and it makes sleeping kind of an anxiety-riddled task because I'm worried about not being able to breathe even when I'm actually doing it. I talked to a doctor about it, and they had me do a chest x-ray and liver function test, which came back alright, and gave me some meds. Still, when I try to sleep, there's this constant fear of being short of breath, and, for like 10 to 15 seconds, I actually do feel breathless. Any advice on what might be going on?

View allI've been dealing with asthma and allergic rhinitis since I was a kid. Lately, I've noticed that every evening I get this wheezing sound, and while using the asthalin or Foracort inhaler helps, it just flares up again after a few hours. I'm also on Montelukast and Fexofenadine, and sometimes Levocetrizine before bed. The rhinitis seems to have gotten worse in the past few weeks, and I've started sweating more than usual. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do next?
take proper scheduled treatment for asthma like inhalers and steroids

I'm wondering how long a fever might last when you're going through tuberculosis treatment. Is it normal to have a fever for a while, and how severe can it get? At what point should I expect the fever to stop?
Fever during tuberculosis treatment can occur, especially in the initial phase, as your body adjusts to the medication. Typically, it should subside within a few weeks of starting the treatment. If the fever persists beyond that, it's important to consult your doctor for further evaluation.
