I begin yoga and started recovering but for past few months I was not getting time to do yoga and again my health is detoriating. From last three days I was having fever I had crocin and now I am Ok.
Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you need to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray first. Also show old x rays to compare with present x ray. So that any worsening of x ray lesion can be picked up. If x ray lesion is same or improving than no ned to worry for TB or pneumonia. And if lesion is worsening than you may need CT Thorax for better evaluation of lesion. As CT is far better imaging technique than x ray in evaluation of lung diseases. You may also need bronchoscopy and BAL analysis for identification of organism. So better first to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
