I've been experiencing some breathing problems and chest pain, and sometimes I have a blocked nose too which makes it hard to breathe. Also, I've started having some back pain. I'm a bit worried about these symptoms and wondering if they could be connected. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm really concerned about my friend who's getting treated for TB. I'm trying to figure out the right diet for him. Can you advise on which fruits and vegetables would be best for someone in his condition? Also, is it safe for him to eat food with spices? I would really appreciate your guidance on this.

I'm really worried because I've been having Covid symptoms, like chest pain and breathing issues, but my RT-PCR tests always come back negative. It's been 1.5 months since this all started, and my recent chest X-ray showed congested bilateral hila. Can you help me understand what this means? Is it possible I still have a Covid infection, or could it be something else?

it just means you have slight inflammation. you don't have covid infection now

So, I got my apicolordotic view test results and it mentions a few fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, possibly related to Koch's etiology. What does this mean? Should I be concerned about Koch's disease, and what are the next steps I should take?

The Apicolordotic view X-ray report suggests that you may have had tuberculosis (TB) in the past, as indicated by the presence of fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, which are likely scars from healed TB lesions, also known as Koch's lesions.
