I'm dealing with asthma and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take something like Alprazolam (Alp). Am I capable of managing this? Would you advise against it? I'm a bit worried and really need some guidance on this.

Question

I've been dealing with constant wheezing even after using Budamate inhalers at 400 mcg three times a day and taking Montelukast. Sometimes the wheezing is really loud, and other times it's just a bit quieter, but it never completely goes away. It's winter now where I live. My peak flow meter reads 650. I'm really looking for a permanent solution to my wheezing. When might it fully stop?

Question

I'm worried I might have a chest deformity. Can you help me understand what it might be and how to find out if I actually have it? I'm thinking about getting a check-up, but I want to be sure about what I'm dealing with first.

Question

I'm really worried about my cough and pneumonia because I've had a fever for the last week. My Vidal test is on the borderline and my chest infection seems like it's getting worse every day. I also have my X-ray reports with me. Could you please provide some advice on what I should do next?
