Thanks for issue to issue reply, with interest.
As far as heart is concerned, CT angio, bilateral Doppler of legs, 2 D Echo, are normal. Cardiologist says I am not a cardiac patient.
I have been operated for cervical Laminectomy in 2005.
Eemg, MRI brain, etc are normal.
Body Balance is a serious issue, Neurologist has no answers. Consulted, suggested exercise only.
Short breath and palpitations need to be addressed.
I will add vitamin in in drug bag.
I had 10/12 years alcohol history, stopped before 6 weeks when TB was diagnosed.
I don't smoke
I was shocked when 2200 ml , Pleural effusion was aspirated, fluid showed ADA 106 and lymphocytes 97%, hence TB.
I have no option for AKT, but worried about liver toxicity
In short,
1, hiccups
2. Body Balance since 3/4 years ( baclofen started since 6 weeks )
3. Short breath
4. Weakness and sick face are worrying
I am obliged for your keen love and humility while replying.
Thanks and regards
