View allI've been on TB medication for 25 days now, and even though I'm feeling better physicallymy weight loss, fever and night sweats have disappearedI just got my sputum smear test results back and it's still 4+ positive. I know it can take a while to turn negative, but I was really hoping it might have gone down to 3 or 2 by now. Is this normal? Should I be concerned that it hasn't improved yet?
it is normal

I've been waking up in the middle of the night, gasping for air with my heart racing like crazy. It's been happening often, like 3 or 4 times a night, but never during the day. I quit smoking about 5 days ago. I'm a 25-year-old female. Is this normal when you stop smoking, or could it be something else? What should I do?
anxiety or stress issue , stop smoking

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been a welder for years, and lately, he's been dealing with a cough and black phlegm for about two weeks now. We got him tested for COVID and it's negative, thank goodness, but I'm starting to wonder if these symptoms might be linked to his work. Could it be some kind of occupational respiratory disorder? What should we do next?
Patient is advised chest x-ray pa view and sputum for AFB bacilli and microscopy tests.
