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 dealing with a bit of a dry cough for a while now, and it feels like it's from some throat irritation. It's been going on for about 50 days, and I'm also having slight trouble with my breathing. I went to see an ENT specialist, and he mentioned it's just acidity, but I haven't had any stomach burning at all. It feels more like something's really bothering my throat, and that's why the dry cough is there. What could be going on here? Can you help figure this out?

I'm really worried because I've been having some back and chest pain, so my family doctor had me get a chest x-ray. The results say something about a blunted left costophrenic angle and left-sided pleural effusion. My doctor thinks it might be TB since there's fluid on the left side of my lungs. Can you help me understand what this means and what steps I should take next?

I'm experiencing some chest congestion and I'm noticing a problem with breathing whenever I go for a walk. It feels like I run out of energy pretty quickly, and my legs start hurting. I'm worried about what could be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it just because I'm maybe a bit out of shape? It's pretty concerning, so I'd love to get some advice on what to do next.
