I'm a 63-year-old woman and I've been dealing with breathing problems for the past ten years. I'm currently using medications like deriphyllin 150, essiflo puff, combimist puff, asthalin inhaler, and otrivin on a daily basis. I've also got a dust mite allergy. Is it alright for me to take all of these every day?

I've been having trouble breathing at night lately. It only seems to happen when I'm trying to sleep, never during the daytime. I've also noticed it gets worse when the weather is cold. It's starting to really worry me, and I just can't figure out why this is happening. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I was at a government hospital last month because I was losing weight and having a lot of vomiting. After a month of tests, they started me on tuberculosis meds. Some doctors told me I have TB, but others weren't sure. I'm really confused because I don't have the usual TB symptoms like coughing. I'm worried because it's been 21 days on the medication, but the vomiting hasn't stopped. Could you help me figure out if I really have TB or what's going on?

do CBNAAT to confirm the TB , for vomiting take tab vasograin
