Mild volume loss of mass lesion in TB

My mother was diagnosed with Pulmonary TB via Genexper Test and AFB culture and also noticed a mass lesion measuring 1.9x2.9x2.2cm (ap x trans x si) and two months completed so far with ATT drugs excluding Pyrazinmide since she had severe toxicity. Now when plain ct is done mass lesion measures 1.7 x 2.7 cm ( ap x trans) with mild reduction in few other tree in bud pattern nodule densities. She has increased appetite, strength compared before treatment occasional cough with on/off sputum. No loss of weight. So my question is, does this mass lesion is of TB or something else? Is mild volume loss is a good sign that lesion is of TB? How much time it takes to reduce in such mass lesion for TB?

Stress due to CT scans

I had one HRCT scan during Covid in June 2021 as I was coughing up blood and then one in October 2021 since I had severe chest pain for 4 months, So want to understand if these CT scans are harmful as I read about them later that they are hazardous but not sure if diagnostic radiation is really harmful or harmless if done in limits.

Sometimes feel shortness of breath

I was feeling shortness of breath sometimes and gastroenterologist has told me to stop eating salt ,spicy and oil foods. They suggested to take PAN L tablet morning time. I start dieting since 10days but still feeling same. I am worried is this heart related issue(last three months Back echo and ecg was done and everything was fine )or lungs issue. I am really worried and sometimes feel heavy on the left side of chest and sometimes suddenly heart beat increases(vitamin b12 within the range ). Please suggest whom should I contact or should I go with same diet ?
