I've been experiencing this weird feeling during intense exercise, like when I'm cycling over 20km or running more than 5km. It feels like my lungs are filling up with some fluid, and I have trouble breathing. But if I take a break, it all clears up. Should I be worried about this? Is there something I should be doing differently?

I'm currently pregnant and dealing with COPD. I've been advised to use Foracort 400 Rotacaps twice a day throughout my pregnancy, but I'm worried about whether it's safe for the baby. Could you give me some guidance on this?

I'm trying to understand my recent x-ray results which mentioned 'right apical PTB of undetermined activity.' I'm a bit concerned because I did a sputum test and it came back negative for TB bacteria. Also, I have no TB symptoms and the last time I had this disease was 14 years ago. Could this be something serious? What should I be looking out for?

The X-ray result indicates a past, likely healed, tuberculosis (TB) infection in your right lung, with "undetermined activity" suggesting no current active infection, which is supported by your negative sputum test and lack of symptoms.
