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 recently had a medical exam and the CT scan shows an inflamed lymph node. The tests for tuberculin skin and IGRA were positive, but Sputum smears and cultures were negative. I did have pneumonia in the left lower lobe back in 2019. Could this inflammation be from that past pneumonia, or is it latent TB? How long does treatment usually take in cases like this?
total 6 months of ATT course, 2months intensive phase and 4 months continous phase

I'm 26 and I've noticed that my oxygen level on the pulse oximeter is usually at 95, but sometimes it drops to 93 before going back to 95. My pulse rate is mostly around 92. I don't have any other symptoms, so I'm wondering if this is normal. Which type of doctor should I see about this?
A pulse oximeter reading of 93-95% is generally within an acceptable range, though it can vary slightly depending on factors like positioning or movement. Since you dont have other symptoms, it's likely normal, but if you're concerned, consulting a **general physician** or a **pulmonologist** for a thorough evaluation would be a good idea.
