Is there any chance I can get around the visa denial issue due to the old TB marks on my X-ray? It's frustrating because I had TB six years ago, I've been completely fit since then. I really don't know how to get a clear X-ray now. Is there anything I can do about this?

I'm having asthma since I was a child, and for the past three days, I've been struggling to breathe properly. I've been using my Asthalin inhaler, but today I tried some Asthalin syrup and my breathlessness got worse. Now my hands are shaking, and my heart is racing. What should I do?

I've been dealing with a cough for about two months now. It kicked off with a cold, mostly staying dry, but whenever I get a cold again, it turns into a productive cough. Interestingly, after about a month and a half, it went away for like five days, but then both the cold and the cough came back. I've tried different medicines, but nothing seems to help. I'm genuinely worried about what's going on. What could be causing this persistent cough, and why aren't the medicines working? Any advice or should I be concerned?

I'm having some issues at night that have been really concerning me. I keep waking up in the middle of my sleep, feeling breathless and coughing a lot. It's like I can't breathe properly for about half an hour, but then everything goes back to normal, and I can sleep again. I've noticed there's this weird whistling sound coming from my nose when I'm breathing during that time. People have told me I snore really loudly, which gets interrupted by my coughing fits. I went to a general physician before and was on some tablets for a month which seemed to help, but now the problem is back. I'm wondering if I should see a chest specialist. What could be causing all this?
