I'm having some trouble with my breathing and I already tried the pantosec d gas tablet that my doctor recommended. I also saw a pulmonologist, had a chest X-ray and an ECG, and both came out normal. There didn't seem to be any problems, so no meds were given. Do you think I might still need any medication or other tests?

I was diagnosed with TB back in July 2017, and I've just finished a nine-month course of anti-TB medication. My recent report mentions something about old healed Koch's infiltration and mild bronchitis. I'm still feeling some pain in my upper right chest. Could this be due to scarring, or is there something else I should be worried about? Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really worried because about six months ago, I had a medical test for a job in the Gulf and they said I was unfit. They found an opacity in the mid-zone on the right side of my chest. I'm trying to understand what this means and if there's any medical treatment I can do to handle this issue. Could you please help me with some advice on what steps I should take?
