I've been noticing that I'm spitting up blood mixed with mucus, but I haven't had any coughing. My chest also feels like it's burning. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB about two months ago and was put on akt 4 treatment. After staying on the meds for two months, my latest AFB test came back negative and my X-ray looks good, so that's a relief. But here's what's bothering me: I occasionally feel kind of feverish like my body feels warm, but when I check my temperature with a thermometer, there's no fever. Is this something normal after being on TB treatment?

Yes episodes of fever are common during the treatment, continue the treatment for a minimum period of 6 months and eat healthy.

I'm really worried about my sister. She was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis and has been on ATT for over a month now. Initially, she was prescribed AKT 2 450300. But just last week, the doctor switched her to R Cinex 450300 capsules. Ever since the change, she's been vomiting in the mornings after taking it, and she's been experiencing itchiness in her legs and hands, along with leg pain. Do you think we should go back to AKT 2?

I'm wondering why I've been needing to take deep breaths every 5 to 10 minutes over the past 5 days. My x-ray and ECG came back normal, so I'm really puzzled. It's starting to affect my ability to focus at work, though I don't seem to have any issues at night. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to stop this?

Ecg and cardiac markers ,chest x-ray is advised to the patiet.
