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'm feeling this deep and incomplete breathing at random times during the day, and then I get shortness of breath when exercising. A few months back, I was even coughing up blood for about 34 days, and had something similar happen a year ago. On top of that, I'm having these gastro issues like thick and sticky mucus in my stool every 10 to 20 days. I've lost a bunch of weight, dropping to 79 kg over the past 3 years, and I feel like my growth has stopped. Do you have any idea what's going on with me?

I'm really concerned about this chest pain I'm experiencing. I've been dealing with allergic bronchitis and phlegm buildup for about 2 years now. I've been using inhalers, and my chest X-ray looks fine, but I just can't figure out why my chest is still hurting. Could there be something I'm missing?
Budesonide 200 inhaler is advised sos for breathing difficulty.

Is it true that 90% of our lungs can get damaged just from carbon molecules without them even doing anything? I'm kind of worried about what this means for overall lung health and how we can protect ourselves from this damage. Any advice on how we can prevent this or keep our lungs in better shape?
Yes ,Carbon monoxide can cause lung damage by preventing oxygen from reaching the blood-stream.
