I've been having some trouble with my breathing lately. It's like I can't breathe properly, even when I'm just sitting or going about my day-to-day stuff. Sometimes I feel this tightness in my chest, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Can you help me understand what might be going on? I'm a bit worried.

View allI'm concerned about taking montek LC for an extended period. Could it have any negative effects on my kidneys, liver, or any other part of my body?
Long-term use of Montek LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) is generally considered safe, but may increase the risk of liver enzyme elevation, kidney damage, and other adverse effects, such as increased blood pressure, fatigue, and mood changes; regular monitoring of liver and kidney function, as well as periodic check-ups with your doctor, can help minimize potential risks and ensure safe long-term use.

I'm worried because our servant was diagnosed with TB, and I'm concerned it might have spread to my family. Could you please tell me which test we can do to check if any of us are affected by TB?
If a family member has been exposed to tuberculosis (TB), it's important to monitor for symptoms like persistent cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. To confirm if anyone is affected, a chest X-ray and a TB skin test (TST) or a blood test (IGRA) are commonly used. Please consult a doctor for appropriate testing and advice.

I'm wondering when during the day I should be checking my blood oxygen levels. I've got an oximeter at home, but I'm not sure how often or what times are best to use it. Could you give me some guidance on this?
-Hi, it's generally recommended to check blood oxygen levels 2-3 times a dayonce in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once before bed. You can also check if you feel short of breath or dizzy, or if you're monitoring a specific health condition.
