I've just turned 31 and I'm a bit concerned because I weigh 98 kgs and have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start hitting the gym for some strength and weight training to help shed some pounds. Can this kind of exercise routine be good for me given my condition?

I was diagnosed with TB back in July 2017, and I've just finished a nine-month course of anti-TB medication. My recent report mentions something about old healed Koch's infiltration and mild bronchitis. I'm still feeling some pain in my upper right chest. Could this be due to scarring, or is there something else I should be worried about? Can you help me figure out what's going on?
