Is Air Filled Cavity in Lung Cancerous?
The bubble in the left lung can be due to a thing called "pneumothorax," that is similar to having a lung outside the body. It is not usually cancer but can promote chest pain and shortness of breath. The treatment can be either observing it with the use of a tiny tube to remove the trapped air or in some cases surgery. Along with necessary follow-ups, it is also crucial to consult with a pulmonologist to determine the best course of action.

Can I Use Creatine for Strength After Tb Treatment?
Pneumothorax (TB) might be the water inside your chest. This is due to the fact that the immune system, when it is weak, can bring on the symptoms such as chest pain and tiredness. While taking medications as prescribed should be your priority, do not take creatine without your doctor’s approval because it may worsen your condition. However, for now, make sure you are resting enough, eating properly, and gradually getting back into your regular training routine.
