I 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?

View allI'm really concerned because Ive been checking my spo2 with a pulse oximeter every day, and its always around 98 or 99. But last night, I suddenly woke up and when I checked, my spo2 had dropped to 81. It went back to normal in just a couple of minutes. This is worrying me a lot because I had a chest x-ray done two months ago and everything looked fine. What could have caused this sudden drop?
Spirometry and pulmonary function tests is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with asthma, high blood pressure, and urticaria, and I'm a bit concerned about what's going on right now. I'm 39 years old, not married, and honestly, I've been struggling with my weight at 113kg with a height of 169 cm. For 7 years, I've been on Stamlo 5 mg and Cetzine, but recently I ran into some trouble with severe ulcer issues and took Esogress D for that. Just a few days back, I saw a pulmonologist because I was having a rough time with my asthmalots of chest congestion and coughing. They prescribed Formoflo 250 mg inhaler, Telekast LAB Flo SR 200mg, Ivepred 8mg, and Pantaacid DSR 40 mg. I even had to get nebulized for quick relief when I was in the hospital. But now, with these new asthma meds, I'm feeling weird. I'm sweating even with the AC on, my stomach feels uneasy and burns at times, and my hand is a bit shaky. Plus, there's this odd blood-gushing sensation in my left hand and leg, and I'm slightly giddy and finding it hard to concentrate. I did an ECG and echocardiogram two months back, and everything was okay, even did a TMT. Any idea what's going on with me?
Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

I'm 35 and I've been having this weird pain between my lungs and rib cage on the right side. There's this indentation under my right rib where the bone kind of sticks out, and now the deepest part on the left is starting to hurt too. It gets really bad when I cough, sneeze, or jump on a trampoline. This all started after I had a really bad lung cold a while ago, and even though it's been almost 10 years, I still get mucus every day and the cold feels like it's never completely gone. What could be going on with these symptoms?
