I'm really struggling with my breathing and it's been happening for about three days now. I saw a chest physician who said it might be hyperventilation. I'm really anxious and need some advice on finding a lasting solution. Can you help?

I've been experiencing this weird, persistent cough once a day or so, and each time it comes with this white, sticky phlegm. It only seems to stop after I somehow manage to clear it all out. Sometimes I even have to force myself to vomit just to get it out of my throat. Also, I've noticed a whistling or wheezing sound when I breathe in while Im coughing. Could you help me figure out what's going on, and suggest who I should reach out to for help?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with asthma and using a Foracort inhaler, but recently I've been having a lot of issues with a runny nose and lots of sneezing. I'm not sure if this might be rhinitis or not. What do you think, and could you suggest some medication that might help with the runny nose?

My wife got diagnosed with TB back in March, and we've been on top of her treatment with a combo of meds like rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide according to her weight. Her haemoglobin levels are pretty low at around 8, plus she's dealing with an iron deficiency, so she's taking iron supplements, folic acid, and vitamin C as well. But for the past 10 days, she's been experiencing pain in her back and around her neck, and I'm just really concerned. Could this be something like TB of the spine? If that's what it is, and she's already on TB meds, what do we do next? What other tests should she possibly have aside from the LFT? Would love some guidance on this.
