Question

I'm Jack, 28 years old, and I've been taking Seroflo 250mg every day for the last 15 years. I'm really concerned about whether this could lead to any issues like impotency or other serious side effects. Could you please let me know what to watch out for?

Long-term use of Seroflo 250 (Salmeterol and Fluticasone) for 15 years may increase the risk of systemic side effects, including adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, and cataracts, but impotency is not a commonly reported side effect

Question

I've been experiencing some light crackling sounds in my right lung base, but only when I lie down stretched out. Even when I hold my breath and push in the central lung area, the crackles tend to come and go. If I shift my position even slightly, they disappear. There's no chest pain, and these crackles are just occasional. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something serious?

Question

I'm currently working at a thermal power plant where I'm regularly exposed to a lot of dust. During the summer, I experience some mild breathing issues, but it gets worse in the winter when my nostrils and chest feel completely blocked. Do you have any suggestions for managing or preventing this?
