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?

View allI've been having this really sharp pain in my chest, mostly on the left side, for about a month now. It used to just happen when I moved a certain way or turned over in bed, but recently it's been happening more randomly, sometimes on the right side or in the middle too. Breathing in can be painful sometimes as well. I've got allergic rhinitis and asthma, and my allergies have been acting up lately. I'm finding myself out of breath pretty often when doing even small things, and it's hard to breathe at night since my nose gets blocked and I can hear wheezing from my chest. Could this chest pain be linked to my asthma? I'm starting to worry, and would really appreciate some advice!
yes the chest pain might he due to asthma

I'm really worried about my dad. He's had coughing problems for the past few days, and he just did a Mantoux test which showed a 45 mm reading after 48 hours. Could this be a sign of tuberculosis?
Do CBNAAT and chest x ray to confirm your diagnosis

Hey, my father-in-law just found out he tested positive for COVID and his oxygen saturation levels are hovering around 92, 93, sometimes 94. Do you think we need to get him to the hospital right away, or is it okay to wait? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice on this.
Yes . Once the patient is stabilized patient can be discharged.
