What is the 4 7 8 breathing technique?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Find somewhere comfortable to sit. If you can, close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose to the count of four, hold the breath to the count of seven and exhale through your mouth to the count of eight.

View allI've had this really bad cough for four days now and my doctor asked me to get a chest x-ray. The report mentioned something about patchy haziness in the lower right zone, which they said might suggest pneumonitis. I'm kinda worried because there's also blood in my sputum in the morning, though it turns to just yellow sputum later in the day. Could this be something serious? What should I be doing about it?
It sounds like you have a case of pneumonitis, which is causing inflammation in the lung tissue, and the blood in your sputum could be due to irritation or mild bleeding from the airways. The yellow sputum suggests an ongoing infection. It's important to follow up with your doctor for appropriate treatment, such as antibiotics or other therapies, to help with healing.

I'm getting really worried because it's been a month since I caught COVID-19. I was admitted to the hospital on April 23 and discharged on April 28. Lately, I've noticed that about ten days after coming home, I started experiencing sudden drops in my oxygen levels and breathlessness, but only while I'm sleeping. During the day, my oxygen levels are between 95 and 98, which seems normal, but at night they can drop to 80 or even lower. This happens even when I sleep in a prone position. Is this something like Happy Hypoxia? I really need some guidance and help with this.
it is hypoxia ,kindly do chest xray

I'm currently being treated for MDR-TB and I've been experiencing some issues with vomiting. I'm worried about my liver health and I'm thinking about stopping moxifloxin and ethanamide for a bit to help my liver recover. Do you think that's a good idea? Are there any risks I should be aware of?
No , do LIVER FUNCTION TEST and consult pulmonologist
