I've just finished six months of TB meds in May, but I'm really worried because I'm having trouble breathing on the right side of my lung, where I had some moderate pleural effusion. It's a struggle to breathe normally, and when I take a deep breath, my right lung hurts a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and suggest any medication that could help?

I've been having trouble breathing at night lately. It only seems to happen when I'm trying to sleep, never during the daytime. I've also noticed it gets worse when the weather is cold. It's starting to really worry me, and I just can't figure out why this is happening. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
