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?

My mom's been on atorva for the past couple of years, but she's recently started having this weird dry cough that we can't really explain. Could this be a side effect of atorva? I've read that it might lead to interstitial lung disease or something like that. She's 53, by the way. Could that be related?

I'm really worried about my brother who has been in the ICU for two weeks now on ventilation because of COVID. His HRCT score is really high at 25 and the doctors have mentioned he might need a lung transplant and ECMO support which started on June 1st. Thankfully, he's responding okay to it, but his pulse is normal while his Spo2 is stuck at 75. They're saying he has to wait 60 days for the transplant. Do you think he'll be okay until then? Its scary because 100% of his lungs are infected. We had him airlifted to Apollo Hyderabad from Patna and he's still testing positive for COVID. Hes just 34 and never had any health issues before this. His WBC is at 20000, CRP is at 186, and D-dimer is at 1380. What do you think are his chances?

yes if he is on oxygen, he can makeup till then

I'm 27 now and when I was just 6 months old, I had TB and went through a 9-month antibiotic treatment and got better. But now I'm really worried that the TB might come back. Do you think it's possible for TB to reoccur after all these years? Any advice would be really helpful.
