Question

I'm having trouble breathing, especially when I exercise or if I'm around strong smells. I don't cough much, but occasionally I feel some chest pain. I've never had any wheezing, so I'm not sure if it could be asthma or something else. What could be causing this?

Question

I've been keeping an eye on my Spo2 levels and they're usually at 98, but I've noticed that when I sleep, my oximeter shows it drops to 94. Then, when I wake up, it goes back to 98. Should I be concerned about this fluctuation? Is it normal for my oxygen levels to dip while I'm asleep, or is there something specific I should be looking into?

Question

I'm a bit worried and have some questions about my situation. I've been an asthmatic for quite some time now, and I was addicted to alcohol for 15 years. I stopped drinking completely in 2016 and started smoking weed instead. It's been two years since then, and I've realized that I haven't needed my inhaler, Foracart, for the past six months. I feel like weed might have helped with my asthma, but now I'm keen on quitting smoking weed as well. I'm curious to know if there are medicines available that contain weed or if there are alternative ways to consume weed in a medicinal form. Any advice would be appreciated.
