Is there any chance I can get around the visa denial issue due to the old TB marks on my X-ray? It's frustrating because I had TB six years ago, I've been completely fit since then. I really don't know how to get a clear X-ray now. Is there anything I can do about this?

View allI was diagnosed with lymph node TB back in August 2021, and Ive been on medication since then. I haven't had any symptoms for the past six months, which is great, but I'm wondering about smoking. I know its generally bad for your health, no matter your condition, but Im curious if it could specifically affect the treatment outcomes for TB. Does smoking have any particular impact on how well I might recover or respond to the treatment?
yes it can

I'm a lifeguard and lately I've been having asthma attacks on days when the allergens are high and it's really hot. This happens even after I use my inhaler, which I do faithfully 30 minutes before my shift starts and again halfway through my 6-hour shift. I've already had two mild attacks and one severe one. The severe attack was so bad that I needed emergency oxygen. What should I do? Is there something more I can be doing to prevent these attacks, especially since I have to work under these conditions?
Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I've been dealing with wheezing for 25 years, initially using an Asthalin inhaler and now Foracart 400 rotacaps. I don't take any oral medicines for it. The past couple of weeks, I've started feeling chest tightness, breathlessness, and fatigue. I've also had mild hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes for 15 years. For my BP, I take Teleact AM 40 at night, and for diabetes, I take Amaryl 1 mg twice a day. My diabetes seems to be under control, but I'm worried about what might be causing these new symptoms. Could it be related to my wheezing or COPD, or maybe my high BP, CAD, or diabetes? What do you think?
due to allergy
