I'm feeling really worried and confused right now. My wife, who's a doctor, talked to a pulmonologist who checked my scan report and said it's definitely TB, but I'm having a hard time accepting this. I live a healthy lifestyle, don't smoke or drink, so I'm doubtful if it's true. I haven't done the CBNAAT or culture test again yet, and I'm really unsure about jumping into treatment right away. Do you think I should get another doctor's opinion first before starting TB treatment?

I've been having a fever sometimes along with body aches, and my chest feels heavy. The X-ray shows some air in my chest, but I tested negative for COVID. What could be causing this?

I'm dealing with acute bronchitis pretty often. It usually kicks off with a sore throat and then escalates to bronchitis, complete with mucus buildup in my chest and all that. I typically skip medication and just let it run its course, which takes about a week or two. I'm really wondering if this could be harming my lungs, though. Should I be considering medication instead?
