I've been on TB meds for three months, and my recent LFT and creatinine tests came back normal. My doctor adjusted my meds and I'm now taking RCin 600 and Solonex 300 for the next six months. I've got a get-together next week, and I'm wondering if it's okay to drink alcohol just for that day since my liver functions are normal right now. Is it safe, or should I skip the alcohol?

I've been smoking for about three years now and every time I light up, I start feeling this weird pain on the right side of my chest, near where my thymus is. It seems to go away after like 15 minutes, especially if I press on it, then I usually burp a few times and the pain just disappears. I'm a bit concerned, is this something I should be worried about?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
