Chest & Breathing Problems
Tuberculosis
How is tb tested , one of the doctor suspects he has tb in the lungs and suggested a bronchoscopy, but his coughing has reduced to 90% when the esr count has become normal. Isn't there any other way to check tb infection other than bronchoscopy.

Heavy Snoring - Unbearable sounds
I am suffering from this snoring issue for the past 3-4 yrs. My snoring is very loud and causes unrestfulness to others. I literally don't feel it. Have tried the nasal strips but I somewhere find it useless. My mouth goes dry and creates loud sounds. I don't drink alcohol nor smoke. I suffer from asthma for past 33 years. However snoring has been an issue for me for the past 4 years. Any suggestions on how to cure it.

Was on oxygen support for a month and got discharged on 22nd June 2021 (its been 2 and half month till today). His oxygen level is 98-99% in normal position. When he doing brisk walk or climbing stairs faster. His breathing is faster for 2 mins and comes to normal and his oxygen saturation levels also starts with 89-93% fluctuating for few seconds and ends with 99% for a long time. Is this normal?. He is having occasional dry cough 2 to 3 times in a day that time he is having very mild pain in his chest. His respiratory rate is 20-22 bpm. Should I need to worry
