I've been on tuberculosis medication for several months, and my doctor has me doing liver function tests and liver enzymes are normal. Is it alright if I have one beer a month?

I'm living in a cold climate, and for the past couple of years, as winter approaches, I've noticed I have this ongoing breathing problem along with a cough that produces phlegm. It seems to linger all winter long. I've tried using some anti-cough syrups, but they haven't really helped much. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

I'm experiencing continuous pain in my mid rib and chest muscle. I've had a cough and sometimes feel dizzy and short of breath. Does this sound like something I should be worried about?

I'm experiencing some breathlessness when I'm walking or climbing stairs to the second floor, especially after coming home from work. My oxygen level drops to 90 for about 30 seconds to a minute before it goes back to normal. I also had a CRP test done, and the result was 15.6 mgL. Is this a normal level? What could be happening with my body?
