I'm dealing with TB and I've got some fluid in my lungs that's causing me chest pain. The doctor already took some of the fluid out, and that's how they figured out I have TB from the lab results. Should I be worried about the fluid coming back or about any other complications? What steps should I take next, and is there anything specific I should be doing to help my recovery?

View allI've been noticing a strange sensation whenever I take a deep breath, like something's moving in my windpipe. I've checked multiple times and even had an X-ray, which didn't show anythingjust air. I do deal with a lot of gas in my bowels. Could it be gas moving in my windpipe, or is it something else? There's no mucus or phlegm coming out, so Im not sure whats going on. Any thoughts?

I'm wondering when during the day I should be checking my blood oxygen levels. I've got an oximeter at home, but I'm not sure how often or what times are best to use it. Could you give me some guidance on this?
-Hi, it's generally recommended to check blood oxygen levels 2-3 times a dayonce in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once before bed. You can also check if you feel short of breath or dizzy, or if you're monitoring a specific health condition.

I'm having a tough time with my breathingI struggle to take deep breaths sometimes, and I've been relying on breathing through my mouth for the past four months. I visited a pulmonologist who had me take a chest X-ray, but it came back normal. He prescribed Razo D Tab 20mg for three weeks. Things seemed better during the first week, but by the second week, the breathing issues returned. Other than this, I'm eating well and sleeping properly, but every now and then, when the breathing gets difficult, I feel fatigued. There's no other issue apart from this. However, due to the current lockdown, I can't visit a clinic for a follow-up. What should I do next? Any suggestions on managing this?
