I am 37 and live in the usa since 2010. Born and broughtup in India and visit India every year. Recently i got tested (blood) for TB for my green card application and to my surprise it turned out to be positive. I have no symptoms. Then they checked my xray which was normal. So the doctor said that i seem to be having latent tb. 1 in 10 people having this condition can later develop active tb and hence i should consult a specialist and start preventive treatment. What should be done next? I should take treatment or not and i have heard the side effects of medicines can be gruesome I have thyroid. Except that no other problem.
Hello dr . l have had cough and breathlessness for 6–7 years. Asthma is not confirmed, and asthma treatment has not helped much. PFT showed FEV1 41% and FEV1/FVC 57% (poor-quality report). I also have palpitations, body-wide pulsations, fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain, eye pain reddness and elevated ESR/CRP. Which specialist should I consult first?
Two months ago, I had a severe cough and right-sided chest pain during breathing. A chest X-ray revealed a pneumonia patch. I was treated with 3 days of IV fluids and medications. Now, my cough is completely gone, but the right-sided chest pain has remained unchanged for 2 months. More importantly, I have recently developed new, mild breathing difficulty (breathlessness) which was not present during the initial infection. I am unaware of my current oxygen levels, but initially, SpO2 was 96-98%. Please advise on the next diagnostic steps or if a repeat X-ray is needed.
