I've had this persistent cough for a few weeks now and my GP sent me for a chest x-ray. It's been over two weeks since the x-ray on Tuesday, but I haven't heard any results yet. I'm really anxious and wondering if this delay is normal. Should I be worried about this?

I'm looking at my chest x-ray and I'm worried it might be tuberculosis or maybe some other kind of infection. I've also been having some chest pain. Should I be concerned?

I'm a bit worried because I had a viral and throat infection two weeks ago, and while most symptoms have gone, I still have a cough with brown and yellow phlegm for about 1.5 weeks now. Should I get a chest X-ray to check if everything's normal, or should I be looking into a TB test?

no need of tuberculosis test

I'm a little worried because I've been dealing with a lot of symptoms like excessive yawning, a constant feeling of needing to yawn, and even sometimes feeling like I can't breathe properly, all for about 45 days now. I also have a stuffy nose, my nasal turbinates seem enlarged, and I have post-nasal drip. I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis earlier, but these symptoms don't seem to be going away. Is there a chance that this has turned into allergic asthma or maybe even bronchial asthma, even though I havent started coughing or felt any chest pressure?

Azeflo nasal spray is advised to the patient sos for allergy...7ml twice daily in both the nostrils is advised to the pt..
