I've been prescribed a bunch of medications including Methylprednisolone, Montelukast, Fexofenadine, Acebrophylline, Levofloxacin, a nasal spray with Fluticasone and Azelastine, plus a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. My FEV1 is at 42, so I get that it's serious, but this seems like a lot to take in all at once. Is this really normal, or should I be concerned about how heavy this treatment plan feels for me?

I've been on meds for pulmonary tuberculosis since January 2nd, but I stopped taking them on June 28th without checking in with my doctor. After about ten days, I started them again. Now, I've got some serious chest and stomach pain. Could this be because of how I stopped and started the meds? What should I do?

I was diagnosed with COVID on June 24th and got treatment until July 10th. When I got discharged, the doctor said I didn't need another swab test. Since then, I haven't had any symptoms or health issues. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to go back to doing cardio workouts now. Also, what precautions should I take while exercising, and is it okay to focus on weight loss?

yes you can continue
