I'm wondering about my situation with TB. I've been on the AKT 4 kit for 35 days now and have kept myself quarantined this whole time, always wearing a mask. Is it safe for me to stop wearing the mask and be around my family? I'm just a bit anxious about making sure I'm not putting them at risk.

View allI'm 29 and had pulmonary TB a while ago. I went through a full year of treatment. It's been about six months now, and I've started experiencing some chest pain on and off. It's really affecting my sleep because the discomfort keeps me up. I don't have a cough or fever, and my x-ray is clear. I'm really confused about what's causing this chest pain. Can you help figure out what's going on?
Hi, it's good to hear that you completed treatment for pulmonary TB. The chest pain you are experiencing could be due to post-tuberculosis pleurisy, which is inflammation of the lining of the lungs. I recommend taking Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day after meals for a few days to help reduce the inflammation and relieve the chest pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the painful area for further relief. If the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been having some trouble breathing for a couple of days. It's like I'm struggling to catch my breath, but it's more than just shadow breathing. I haven't noticed any other symptoms, but it's starting to worry me. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?
anxiety or stress ca cause rapid breathing
