I'm on medication for stomach tuberculosis and it's been nine months so far. I've heard that for stomach TB, you need to take the meds for at least a year to avoid the risk of MDR. Is that actually true?

I'm really worried because I've been struggling with breathlessness for about 2 years now and it seems to be getting worse. Ive already checked my heart and lungs, and the tests show they're fine. Ive come to the conclusion that it might be because of acid reflux, as I'm experiencing symptoms of GERD. I'm currently taking Telmelive AM for my blood pressure. I'm looking for the best advice and treatment for my issue. Could you please offer some guidance?

I don't know what's going on, but every morning I wake up feeling like I'm going to puke. No matter what I try to eat or drink, even if it's just milk, I end up throwing up. It's really tough because I can't stand any food smells early in the day. Do you have any ideas on how I can stop this from happening?

It sounds like you may be dealing with morning sickness or a digestive issue. Try having small sips of water or ginger tea in the morning before any food, and avoid strong smells. If this continues, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.

I've been really worried because a couple of days ago, I was asleep and woke up feeling like I was going to vomit, and then I actually did. What scared me was that there were some blood drops in it. After that, I started feeling this pain in my chest. I'm not sure what I should do, and its kind of freaking me out. Can you help?
