I'm feeling a bit worried because I've just finished 9 months of my anti-TB medication, but I'm still experiencing mild chest pain. My report mentions old healed Koch's infiltration and mild bronchitis. Should I be concerned about this pain, or is it something that happens sometimes?

The mild chest pain you're experiencing after completing 9 months of anti-TB medication is likely due to residual inflammation or scarring from the healed TB infection, and the mild bronchitis; however, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions,

View allHow can I check my lungs at home?
At home, you may check your lungs functioning with an instrument named "Peak Flow meter". It is a small hand held device, when you blow air into it, it calculates the lung capacity and expansion. Spirometer is another instrument which helps in similar way in lung assessment and additionally it also has therapeutic usage. You may check oxygenation level by "Pulse Oximeter" which gives indirect clue on lung damage but keep in mind there are other medical conditions which may affect pulse oximeter readings.
