I've been having this weird feeling at night where my chest feels tight and it's really hard to breathe. It almost feels like something's stuck in my throat. It's starting to make me worry. What could be causing this?

I'm really worried and need some advice. So, there's this situation where someone was treated for MDR for about a year and a half with pulmonary TB. Now, it looks like they're also dealing with lymph node TB. I'm curious, could this mean there's a chance of having MDR again?

Yes.

I've been having this breathing problem where I get kind of wheezy when I walk for a while, and it seems to get worse in the winter. It's been going on for about a year now. I'm really not sure what's causing it, and I'm wondering if there are any precautions or advice you could share to help me manage this.

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I'm a bit worried about my friend who's been dealing with a cold for nearly a week now. We visited a pulmonologist, and he checked her mouth and ears, then performed this thing called fremitus on her chest. But he didn't ask her to say '99' or 'bluemoon' and there was no request for her to cough either. Is it normal to do the fremitus test like this, without having her say anything? Is the procedure different based on the situation? Just trying to understand if this is the right approach for her condition.

do the test
