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?

View allI'm having this weird feeling of uneasiness in my chest, but it's only when I'm trying to sleep at night, during the day it's not there at all. When it happens, I usually just get up, drink some water, and I end up belching a lot, and then after a while, I can go back to sleep like normal. I've been keeping an eye on my SpO2 at home and its around 97-98 every time I check it. Also, I went to a general physician yesterday, May 18, and they said my SpO2 is good too. I don't have any other symptoms, especially those related to Covid. My doctor gave me antibiotics to be on the safer side along with some vitamins for three days. I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be looking into, like, should I get a CT scan of my lungs or anything like that given my situation?
At present CT is not required . Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice

I'm feeling uneasy because after having an endoscopy, I started having pain in my windpipe when I swallow food. On top of that, I sometimes experience mild to moderate stomach pain, usually when my stomach's empty like in the mornings. I never had any issues like this before the endoscopy, and now I'm really worried that there might have been a perforation in my stomach when they took a tissue sample, especially since I felt pain in my stomach during the procedure. Could this be serious? What should I do?
No i can't be a perforation. Take some anti gastric medication for one week and monitor for symptoms
