Chest & Breathing Problems

I am a smoker for long. I am slowly getting into a better health regime, and have reduced smoking a bit now Not that I have any breathing difficulties right now, but like any blood tests for general checkup. I think I should also go for a proper lung checkup now. Thanks Tushar

My father breaths fine normally however he feels out of breath when speaking. He has been through open heart surgery in January 2021 and has developed this symptom after surgery. It is getting worst day by day. Please suggest what needs to be done for diagnosis and recommend further consultation. Thank you, Nayan

My mother is diagnosed with lungs TB and started with AKT4 but soon after a week she experienced extreme nausea and vomiting and weakness. SGOT and SGPT were 350 and 200 respectively. Hence stopped for a week then restarted one drug at a time in 5 day interval. When rifampicin was given she again experienced a little nausea and weakness with slightly increased sgot and sgpt levels which was under control. So doctor suggested to not go with Pyrazinmide which was next drug as he thought it will cause same effect. So now she is having Ethambutol, levoflaxacin, Isoniazid and Rfimapicin. Are these drugs ok? Is Pyrazinmide to be mandatorily given?
