I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

I've been feeling really out of breath at night and I'm dealing with a chest infection and a constant cough. I'm wondering if taking the tablet Theoasthalin would help with my symptoms. Can you give me some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it?

Yes, continue same treatment.

Why are coughs worse at night?

When laying flat, mucus gets pooled up in the throat since nose and throat are connected and this causes coughing

I'm a bit confused about my mom's diagnosis. Her CT scan showed something like patchy airspace acinarization and some nodular radio opacities, and she has prominent bronchovascular markings. The doctor said she's got tuberculosis and put her on this Rizorine kit. But what's really bugging me is the doctor mentioned it's not contagious. Is it common for TB to be non-contagious, or could there be some misunderstanding here?

Yes it is not contagious,as we all are vaccinated for it,but if you are weak it might infect you,be safe and follow hygiene practices
