I've been having a slight cough and some wheezing again after getting better a couple of weeks ago. Now it's also paired with a cold and a stuffy, runny nose. I haven't traveled anywhere, but I did go out twice with a mask and gloves to grab some essentials. Do you think I should be concerned about it being COVID?

View allI'm getting ready for a medical exam for my visa and I'm really worried because I'm a smoker. I usually go through about two to three packs a day, but after hearing about the x-ray exam, I got pretty anxious and decided I need to quit. The cravings have been intense, so I'm down to a maximum of five a day for now. Im wondering, do these changes or any lung patches I have increase the chances of my visa being rejected? I could use some advice.
It's great that you're trying to reduce your smoking, but lung patches can sometimes raise concerns during medical exams. However, cutting down to 5 cigarettes a day is a positive step. It's important to be honest during the examination and follow your healthcare provider's advice. Good luck with your visa process, and continue working towards quitting!

I'm really worried about my husband. He's had a pleural effusion in his right lung, and weve gone through a bunch of tests for TB. But it's confusing because some results suggest TB, while others don't. The doctor went ahead and started him on ATT, but now hes dealing with a lot of severe weakness. I'm wondering if this weakness could be a side effect of the ATT. Can you give some insight?
give him food with high protenicous diet. his weakness will be reduced

I've been having trouble with my breathing when I walk. It feels like I'm not taking full breaths, and there's this heaviness in my chest. I've had an X-ray, CT scan of my chest, an ECG, and a 2D echo of my heart, and everything came back normal. I'm really confused about what could be causing this. Any ideas?
