I've been noticing recently that I often feel the need to take long breaths. If I try not to, I get a pressure sensation in my chest. It all seems to happen without me really being aware of it, but it's becoming a regular thing. Can you help me understand what's going on?

View allI'm on ATT since March 16, 2022, after being diagnosed with Pulmonary TB. I've had a persistent fever and night chills, but since starting treatment, my symptoms like weakness and shortness of breath have improved. Despite this, I've noticed my temperature still reads between 99.9 and 100.5 in the evenings, even though I don't feel feverish. It's been about a month, and I'm wondering how long this elevated temperature might last. Could this be normal while on Akurit4?

I've been finding myself taking really deep breaths and yawning quite often, especially when I'm just relaxing. It's weird because it doesnt bother me at all during sleep. Ive gone through all the tests and everything checks out fine. My family doctor mentioned it might be stress or overthinking, but Im not really convinced. I can't help but keep thinking about these long breaths. I also deal with acidity issues. Could these things be related? Any advice on what's going on would be really helpful.

I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with a sort of suffocation and this weird tingling in my hands and feet for about a month. I did a pulmonary function test, and it came out normal. I'm wondering if it would be okay to use an inhaler to help with these symptoms?
