I'm really worried because I've been dealing with breathing issues and pain in my left chest and shoulder for the past four years. I had a chest X-ray, and it came back normal. Why am I still experiencing these symptoms? Should I be concerned, or are there other tests I should consider to get to the bottom of this?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've had pleural effusion in my right lung and got it tapped. I've been on treatment for it since May, starting with AKT4 for the first two months and then switching to AKT2 for the next four. It's been four months now, but I still feel a sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, I haven't lost any weight; in fact, I've gained 5 kg since May and weigh 61 kg now. Any advice on what might be going on?
Tab pan d orally for 5 days,before food and syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily for 5 days is advised to the patient. It is normal adverse effects during ATT therapy.

I've been diagnosed with tuberculosis and they've also found fibrotic band opacities in my lungs. Is this the same as lung fibrosis, and if so, does it get worse over time? I'm really freaking out about this and would appreciate any insights.
Tuberculosis and fibrotic band opacities are not the same as lung fibrosis, although they can be related. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while fibrotic band opacities are a type of scarring that can occur in the lungs due to various reasons, including infections like tuberculosis. Lung fibrosis, on the other hand, is a specific condition characterized by progressive scarring of the lung tissue. In your case, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
