I'm really stressed about this old tuberculosis scar I have. It's seriously causing issues with visa applications, especially in the UAE. Are there any medications or antibiotics that can actually get rid of it? If not, what other options do I have to bypass this hurdle and still secure the visa?

View allI'm having this annoying chest congestion that only seems to hit me at night. It's been a week now and it's making it really hard for me to sleep well. Could this be allergy, flu, or something more serious?
It sounds like you might be dealing with nighttime chest congestion, which could be triggered by allergies, post-nasal drip, or a mild respiratory infection like the flu. However, if it's persistent and affecting your sleep, it's best to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm a 22-year-old guy, and I've been smoking for the past year. I've had this chest pain for about 8 months now. I went to a cardiologist, and my cholesterol was high. He told me to lower it, which I did in a month, but the chest pain is still there. I went through ECG, echo, TMT, and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. The cardiologist said my heart's fine, but I still feel this pain. It's worse when I bend forward or take a deep breath, and its around the center and left side of my chest. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I be considering a chest CT scan? The cardiologist told me to just ignore the pain and said its not heart-related. I already quit smoking and changed my diet, but the pain hasn't gone away. What should my next step be?
do CT scan and review
