Question 1

I've been having trouble with deep breathing for the past 20 days, and it's really freaking me out. Sometimes it's fine, but other times it comes with a pain that shoots into my back whenever I take a deep breath. I did see a gastroenterologist because I was also having stomach pain, and they mentioned something about stomach lining inflammation. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?

Question 3

I've got a few fibrotic lesions with fine calcification showing up in my lung fields on both sides. What could be causing this, and how do I go about treating it? Is this something I should be seriously worried about?

Accepted Answer

Fibrotic lesions with calcifications in the lungs often result from past infections like tuberculosis or fungal infections, or exposure to environmental irritants. They are typically not serious if stable and not causing symptoms but should be monitored with regular imaging and lung function tests. Consult your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions or active disease.

Is there any issue if I took my TB medicine in the evening instead of the morning? I ended up taking the dose at 5 o'clock when I was supposed to take it at 11 in the morning. I didn't skip it or anything. Could this be a problem?
