I am a 19 year old female and have been suffering from tuberculosis. I had it from a long but it was diagnosed two months ago .now I have been taking medicines from one month and the condition is better. But I had severe pneumonia because of this which resulted in scuffing in the lungs. I had to go through bronchoscopy twice. Now the doctor says that he'll examine my chest x ray after 20 days and if the condition hasn't improved, I will have to undergo a different bronchoscopy in which they'll inflate the lungs. I don't know exactly what it is for but it is a precautionary measure. I am really anxious about this. Also, my mental health had been deteriorating since few months. I need to know if there is any relation between my lung condition and my mental health because it is affecting me and I can't really talk about it with anyone. Do you think it is somehow affecting my condition and that it will not improve because of this? Please help me.

There is definitely a connection between your mind and the disease as the psychosomatic symptoms, Ms. keep increasing every day. You take tb medication and do the tests according to what the doctor says. Relax your mind and calm mind by meditating.
