I'm really worried about my sister. She's been dealing with sleep apnea for like 10 years now, and it causes her to wake up suddenly while sleeping, though it only happens once every month or every couple of months. What kind of treatments are available for this, and how can we help her manage or sort this out?

I'm feeling really worried because my family member has been having a bad cough and chest congestion for a few days now. He's also struggling to get any sleep at night and it seems to get worse when he's talking. We went to a doctor and while his blood pressure is fine and the X-ray showed everything is normal, the doctor prescribed some tablets and a syrup, including Ecozet MTA and Amoxicillin, and also recommended using Neb Duolin for a week. We've been following the prescription, but the cough is still not going away. What should our next steps be? Should we be concerned or try something different?

medications given are good, take syrup ascoril twice a day for 1 week

I'm really worried about my mom. She had an X-ray done because of a recommendation from a clinic doctor, and the report mentioned something like haziness in the right middle and lower lung zones, possibly pneumonitis. When we took the report back to the same doctor, she said it's TB and gave us a prescription, including something called AKT FD KIT for 30 days, Prohance powder to take twice with milk, and Becosules for a month. I'm just not sure if we should start this 6-month treatment right away. Do you think it's a good idea to get a second opinion before starting the medication? What do you advise?

Advised sputum for AFB ,microscopy and CBNAAT study for the confimation.If positive ATT is advised for 6 months duration.

I've been doing diaphragmatic breathing regularly and I'm wondering if it's actually beneficial. What should be considered a normal breathing pattern? Is it more common to do chest breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, or is there another method I should know about? I'm a bit confused and would love some guidance.

Normal
