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've been having some strange breathing issues lately, and it's kind of worrying. It all started last Friday, August 4th, after I ate something that made me sick, and I ended up throwing up. Ever since then, my breathing has felt weird. I feel a bit short of breath, and it seems hard to take a deep breath. I'm feeling really stressed about it. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?

I'm taking Montek LC, usually half a tablet at night, but sometimes I get shortness of breath during the day. Is it okay to take another half tablet in the morning too if that happens?

Montek LC is typically taken once a day, and it's best to follow your doctor's instructions. If you're experiencing shortness of breath or choking during the day, it's important to consult your doctor to discuss adjusting the dosage or considering an alternative treatment.

I'm really worried because I've been having Covid symptoms, like chest pain and breathing issues, but my RT-PCR tests always come back negative. It's been 1.5 months since this all started, and my recent chest X-ray showed congested bilateral hila. Can you help me understand what this means? Is it possible I still have a Covid infection, or could it be something else?

it just means you have slight inflammation. you don't have covid infection now
