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 been dealing with a cough for about two months now. It kicked off with a cold, mostly staying dry, but whenever I get a cold again, it turns into a productive cough. Interestingly, after about a month and a half, it went away for like five days, but then both the cold and the cough came back. I've tried different medicines, but nothing seems to help. I'm genuinely worried about what's going on. What could be causing this persistent cough, and why aren't the medicines working? Any advice or should I be concerned?

I'm having this random shortness of breath every now and then during the day, but strangely, it doesn't happen while I'm sleeping. I first felt this back in December 2019, and it just stopped on its own then. But it's popping up again over the last few days, and I'm a bit worried about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

My dad was diagnosed with TB a couple of weeks ago, and hes been on the medication for about 10 days now. But for the last two days, hes been coughing up a little blood mixed with sputum. What should we do about this?

Dont worry its due to activeness of the disease, will subside as you proceed with treatment, take cough suppressing syrups as of now.
