I'm a bit worried because I've had pleural effusion in my right lung and got it tapped. I've been on treatment for it since May, starting with AKT4 for the first two months and then switching to AKT2 for the next four. It's been four months now, but I still feel a sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, I haven't lost any weight; in fact, I've gained 5 kg since May and weigh 61 kg now. Any advice on what might be going on?

I've been having trouble with deep breathing for the past 20 days, and it's really freaking me out. Sometimes it's fine, but other times it comes with a pain that shoots into my back whenever I take a deep breath. I did see a gastroenterologist because I was also having stomach pain, and they mentioned something about stomach lining inflammation. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?
