Ive been feeling really suffocated for the past three days, and it's making it really tough to get any work done. My chest feels tight and heavy, and I've also got this nagging upset stomach. Its like Im completely unhappy and cant shake off these negative thoughts. Im wondering, is this a breathing problem or anxiety or something else entirely? I had a chest x-ray done about three months ago, and it didnt show anything, but the problems still here. The doctor mentioned something about allergic rhinitis, and Ive been taking Alerfix Total daily for three months and Oxitin CR Forte, but I missed my Oxitin dose the last two days. Could this be something serious? And how can I get rid of this permanently?

I'm really concerned about my TB treatment. I've been on the medicine for 45 days now. I recently did a CT scan a couple of days ago, and I attached the new report with the old one. Can you tell if there's any improvement? Also, since I've been diagnosed with TB after the CT scan and bronchoscopy, I'm wondering if it's safe for me to travel abroad. Could you help me out with this?

you can travel, but medicine should be taken there also as a course

I'm really worried about my dad; he's tested positive for COVID and is having a tough time breathing. He's got an oxygen cylinder, and without it, he feels awful and almost passes out. He only seems okay when he's got the oxygen. What can we do to help him get better?

I'm struggling with my asthma and my doctor's advice isn't quite working for me. At first, it was mild so I was using the Duolin 2.5 and Budecort 0.5mg, but things have gotten worse lately. Now, I'm finding myself relying on the nebulizer nearly every day, and it's just so time-consuming. I'm really hoping you can suggest some rotahaler capsule options to try instead. Plus, I'm worried about how severe my asthma has becomeare there any remedies or treatments that might help improve my situation?

Continue same treatment.
