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've recently had an MRI and a sleep study, and my doctor started me on Leverage 500. They also mentioned using APAP or BiPAP if needed. I'm a bit confused about when I should actually start using APAP or if I should switch to BiPAP. How do I know which one is necessary for me? Can you help clarify this?
