Question

So, I recently did a TB Mantoux test and my lymphocytes count is 46. The result mentioned something like Microscopic Induration at 3235 and there's erythema present. My doctor said something about seeing a pulmonology specialist for future options. Given all this, do you think this will affect my chances of getting a visa? It's really stressing me out.

Question

I've been having this really intense pain on the upper right side of my chest when I wake up in the morning, and it's got me a bit worried. I'm not sure if it's my lung or something else, but it's bad enough that I can't really move until later in the day when it seems to get a bit better. Could this be something serious or just how I'm sleeping? Any advice on what I can do to stop it from happening?

Question

I've been having trouble sleeping for about 4 months now. It began with daily nightmares and not feeling rested, but lately, it's just that I'm not getting enough good rest. I checked my oxygen with an oximeter, and it dropped to 73. I've got an appointment at the end of the month for a sleep study consultation, but I'm wondering if I should go to urgent care instead. My symptoms are getting worse, and I'm barely managing. What do you think I should do?

Question

I'm really concerned because about a month ago, I had exudate pleural effusion, and I'm still experiencing pain. Today, I had another chest X-ray, and it shows that the pleural effusion is still there. What could be causing this to persist, and what steps should I take next?
