Question

I'm experiencing shortness of breath even though my chest X-ray and ECG came back normal. Could anxiety be causing this, or should I be worried about something else? What might be the issue?

What is hypercapnia?

Question

My mom's 53 and she's got diabetes and this dust allergy thing going on. She randomly got short of breath today and couldn't talk, which panicked us a bit. She usually gets mild asthma when she's near dust, but today it hit out of nowhere with no dust around. After taking Asthalin, she felt better. I'm curious about what could've triggered this sudden asthma attack without being around dust, and is it okay for her to use Asthalin every day?

Question

I'm dealing with a viral flu and it's been about two days now. I visited my doctor today, and he mentioned I've got a bit of wheezing on top of everything. He suggested I take Pulmoclear tablets twice daily, once in the morning and once at night, for a week, alongside the antibiotics I'm already on. I've never taken Pulmoclear before and it's my first time experiencing wheezing. Is this medication safe for me? I'm pretty anxious about trying something new and don't know how my body will react or if it's going to work well for me. Could you give me some advice?
