I'm struggling with breathing issues for the past three months, like I cant get a good deep breath sometimes, and it's like something is blocking me. Plus, I'm getting this tight feeling in my throat. I had a chest X-ray, but it showed nothing wrong. Could this be due to my gas problem or something else? What should I do?

I've got this CT value of 525 from my HR CT chest scan, and I'm worried it might mean I have pneumonia. Could you tell me if it's something mild or more serious? And if it is pneumonia, is there any medication you would recommend?

So, I've been told I have TB and my liver tests came back fine. The government hospital gave me 6 tablets to take all at once. I'm just wondering, is it okay to also take Pan, Liv52, and a Vitamin B6 tablet with these? Oh, and by the way, I'm 31, weigh 84.5 kg, and I have kidney stones but no other health issues. Any advice?

Yes,continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

I've got a positive TB gold test, but my sputum for AFB and TB CBNAAT tests came back negative. I don't even have a cough. The CT scan of my abdomen showed lymph nodes in the right iliac fossa, but my gastro doctor couldn't spot them during a colonoscopy. How do I figure out if the TB is active or latent? Would an FDG whole body PET CT help clarify whether it's active or latent TB? I'm a bit confused and could really use some guidance on what to do next.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
