Hi doctors, my name is Jimmy and i have this problem of constantly chest pain and I ve been having difficulties to breath normally, its now 6weeks and no change. The last time i went to the hospital the doctors who did the testing wrote suspected PTB and was given 2 bottles of sultamicillin tablets after the treatment i got back to normal and now after 2 months down the line the same problems are back with multiple chest pains breathings...
