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 worried about my Bronco pneumonia. I've had it since I was a kid, and I've heard different things from different doctors. Some say it's due to allergies and might get better with time, while others feel the weather where I live isnt right for me. I even moved to see if that would help, but I'm still having asthma problems. Anytime I get a little cold, the coughing starts and my asthma flares up. I've been using Asthalin to manage it. Do I have to live with this for the rest of my life? Is there anything else I could try or look into?

if you have symptoms,yes you should take

I'm dealing with a cold and cough that just won't go away. Every time I come into contact with dust, my nose gets all irritated, and the cold seems to flare up again. It's particularly tough during the winter; sometimes it feels hard to breathe because of the heavy cold. Should I be worried about this recurring issue, and is there something specific I can do to feel better?

you might be allergic to dust and cold

I've been having this recurring discomfort in the upper left side of my chest for about 45 days now. It all started after I went for a run, breathing through my mouth in the cold weather, and I felt like I'd somehow injured the tissues on that side of my chest from the pressure. The discomfort seems to come and go, sometimes with clear mucus when I cough. I did have a bout of cough and cold about a month ago, and since then, the discomfort seems to be happening more often. I've already seen a general physician who said not to worry and gave me some meds, but they haven't really helped. There's no history of heart issues or high blood pressure in my family. What do you think could be going on?

take tablet mucinac for 5 days
