I have a big fear of t.b.

Anyone else scared of this?

I have shortness of breath.

It's scary. It's really annoying.

I work in the health care field, and depending on where you live TB usually is very rare. I have worked with patients who have had TB in the past, I wash my hands diligently and have never got it *knock on wood*. Also it may put you at ease to know TB is treatable, many of the patients I take care of are elderly, and had active TB at a time when health care was very basic, and they turned out just fine :)

Theres about a million other things your shortness could be from. Anxiety, as you know, but even a common cold can cause shortness of breath. Do you have any other symptoms?
