Question

Is it possible to have trouble breathing even though my oxygen level is showing 99%? I'm asthmatic and dealing with congestion today, but the oximeter is reading normal. Should I be worried about COVID?

Question

I'm dealing with a wet cough that's been hanging around for about 45 days. I saw a pulmonologist before and was told to take Montek LC, Alerodil syrup, and some antibiotics. I finished all the meds, but the cough is still here, and I hear a whistling sound in my chest. Is there a chance this could be TB or asthma? With the lockdown, I can't see a doctor in person. Which medicine might help ease my symptoms until I can get medical advice?

Question

I've been having trouble breathing like I did when I had asthma as a kid. This started last Monday and seems to be happening every night since I began playing football. Could these breathing issues be related to my new activity, and how can I get back to normal?

Question

I'm really loving the benefits of Amla juice for my skin and hair, but I've been having some trouble breathing at night, which is affecting my sleep. I saw a local doctor who suggested taking Azithromycin 500mg at night and advised stopping all sour foods and Amla juice. Is there any way I can address the breathing issue without having to give up Amla juice? It's been really effective for me and I don't want to stop if possible.
