I am diagnosed with ptb according to my chest-Xray But, no general symptoms except I'm quick to be fatigued due to shortness of breath.I consulted to our local clinic and told me to undergo sputum test for DOTS program requirement.But I'm not coughing. But I'm having shortness of breath always and it's worsening.I'm experiencing chest pain bot sides. Can you help me? Can I undergo medication without undergoing sputum test?
