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 noticing a strange green color in my saliva and I've been having some trouble with my breathing. What could be causing this?
You seem to be suffering from acute viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat infection. Usually if there is secondary bacterial infection green sputum is seen. You may need to take antibiotics, cough syrups and steam inhalation for faster recovery

I'm really worried because I noticed something odd with the SpO2 levels after running. Normally, it's between 93 and 99, but right after running, it dropped to 80 before quickly going back to 88, and then 90. This person isnt very active normally. Should I be concerned about this sudden change?
yes it is , consult your nearby pulmonologist
