.
I have had bilateral lower costal margin (lower rib margin) pain, flank pain for about 8 years .
Pain pattern
Pain starts within 1 second of sitting.
Standing reduces the pain by about 90% within 10 seconds.
Walking causes only 2–5% pain.
Before getting out of bed in the morning, I have no pain.
Lying down causes about 20% pain.
The pain is spread across both lower rib margins, not one small point.
The sensation is mainly pressure/tightness, not burning or stabbing.
The pain is NOT affected by
Deep breathing
Coughing
Sneezing
Meals
Leaning forward
Hard vs. soft chair
Pressing on the painful area
Tests reported as normal

Hello i suffered from tuberculosis past 2 years my course ended on September2025(the 2 time was due to recurrency and doctor negligence)after that i showed positive signs of growth then after i got soaked with rain water for a few days and started having fever of 102-3 after that with my right throat with ear is aching and tonsils swollen so I can't with no cough or ache in chest but ache in head if i forcefully cough to get rid of nasal mucus near my throat. Doctor recommended me Azithromycin but my fever kept increasing.My one eye is also aching heavily.

My father had pain in right leg and he was unable to move. We took him to doctor in hospital where the doctor asked to get him admitted as it can be a case stroke I don't know why
We got him admitted on 1st july they did an MRI and said it is normal
Now they said the oxygen level is dropping so they transferred him in MICU
Now on 7th july they told us to buy or rent an BIpap machine along with an oxygen cylinder and to hire a caretaker
Now i have some doubts
Whether they got him admitted because the patient is a retired pensioner and everything is covered under insurance
The hospital just started a caretaking service are they promoting it
And how do i make sure whether a bipap machine is necessary or not because he had no breathing issues before getting admitted
Please help me if anyone can
I am having difficulty in breathing
My oxygmeter shows less than 90
I am a smoker but stopped now
When I sleep sideways right side I get suffocated
Patient reports sudden shortness of breath for the last 4-5 days, requiring forced deep breaths for temporary relief. Senses a thick, heavy buildup of mucus in the airways without an active cough. History of severe respiratory allergy 3 years ago (Serum IgE: 506 IU/mL). Works in a hotel (1 year, asymptomatic), but symptoms started within 20 days of using a liquid mosquito vaporizer overnight in a completely closed, unventilated room. Self-restarted old prescription of Acebrophylline 200mg SR this morning with mild relief, but chest tightness persists. No fever. Seeking expert guidance on treatment.
