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 allI'm a bit worried and have some questions about my situation. I've been an asthmatic for quite some time now, and I was addicted to alcohol for 15 years. I stopped drinking completely in 2016 and started smoking weed instead. It's been two years since then, and I've realized that I haven't needed my inhaler, Foracart, for the past six months. I feel like weed might have helped with my asthma, but now I'm keen on quitting smoking weed as well. I'm curious to know if there are medicines available that contain weed or if there are alternative ways to consume weed in a medicinal form. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with a cough for the past month and had symptoms that reminded me of Covid-19, but I've taken the RTPCR test twice this month, and both came back negative. Even so, I'm feeling a lot of pressure in my lungs. Any idea what could be going on or what I should do next?

I'm having this nagging minor chest pain that's been going on for about 6-7 months, mostly when I'm coughing or turning from side to side in bed. It doesn't bother me when I'm just sitting or walking around. About six months back, I saw an MD, and ECG results were normal. Later, I had an ear infection and visited an ENT who found my IgE level really high and put me on antibiotics and Montelukast tablets, which I finished a couple of months ago. But the chest pain is still there. I asked my doctor for more tests, and they suggested a CT chest scan. The report mentioned small ground glass opacities. I'm kinda worried now could this be something serious? Is my chest pain related to these findings, and what's the next step for treatment?
there might be inflammation of lungs, kindly consult a pulmonologist
