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 really concerned because I was in the hospital a while back for serious shortness of breath. They did an X-ray and blood tests, and everything came back normal. But my doctor still put me on cefixime for 14 days and clonazepam for 30 days. It's been about 10 days now, and I thought I was getting better since my oxygen levels seem normal, but I'm still feeling short of breath and just really fatigued all the time. I can't run or do any exercise, and it's starting to worry me. How much longer might it take to really recover? Should I be thinking about trying any other meds or treatments?

Recovery is around 2-3 weeks.Continue all the medications.
