Pain in left chest
Hi,
I had tb in 2010. I took a 9 months course and my sputum test showed negative. I was able to breathe properly and do whatever I wanted to. No difficulties in travelling. Now since one year I am having difficulty in breathing.. The cough is persistent. I dont have fever but find difficulty in travelling. Even when I talk continuously I feel pain in my left chest. The pain is persistent. Is that the old wound that is causing the pain? What would you suggest me to do?
