I've had left pleural fluid since December 2021, and I'm still on TB medicine. According to my chest CT and PET CT scans, the TB has relapsed, and mycobacterium was detected with low RIF resistance. I'm taking the 4 TB tablets daily, but why did it relapse?

I've been experiencing shortness of breath lately. I went to see a doctor, and they did a chest X-ray which came back clear, and the doctor also did a PFT, mentioning it wasn't too bad. But I still feel like I can't catch my breath, and it's really worrying me. I'm wondering if this could all just be in my head or if there's something else going on. What do you think?
