Hey, I've been wondering if it's okay to get the Covid vaccine after having completed TB treatment. I wrapped up my TB treatment a year back and I've recovered. Is there anything I should be concerned about, like specific side effects for those who've had TB?

View allI'm really concerned because I've been having this stuffed-up noise and chest congestion. There's even some pain in my chest, so I went ahead and got an x-ray. It shows mild prominence bronchovascular markings. Could this be a sign of TB? I'm worried because I need to have a medical test for my visa, and they specifically look for TB. Can you help me understand if these symptoms point to TB or something else?
its not a confirmation sign for Tuberculosis. You can go for Tuberculosis testing

I'm a bit concerned about my recent PFT results. It says my FEV1 is 66 predicted and my lung age is 86. A few weeks ago, a CT scan showed a moderate lung infection post-COVID, and I've been on nintedanib and mucinac since then. I was hoping to see some improvement. Could you help me understand what these test results indicate about my recovery?
