Question

I've been struggling with a cough and sometimes it feels really hard to breathe. I'm taking some tablets currently, but I'm unsure if they're helping. Could you advise on which type of doctor I should consult for this issue?

Question

Ive been dealing with shortness of breath for about 5 years and all my tests like PFT, ECG, CT thorax, chest X-rays, 2D echo, and others came back normal. Ive even had them repeated in 2017 and 2019. Ive seen a lot of pulmonologists and cardiologists but nobodys been able to figure it out. It used to only bother me at night but now it happens during the day too. Even sleep meds arent helping now. Some doctors thought it was tension or weakness, but I'm quite active, exercising and doing yoga and pranayama daily. Night times are really tough and sometimes I can't sleep at all, even with meditation or taking stalopam plus. I'm only 21, so its really worrying. What do you think could be going on?

Question

I've noticed I struggle with breathing only in the winter months. Is using Asthalin alright for me? Also, how much should I be taking?

Question

I'm having some trouble after using Kala hit spray on my balcony; I might've used too much. Ever since then, I've been having breathing problems and discomfort. I saw a cardiologist who ran several tests, like hemoglobin, thyroid, chest x-ray, and echo, but they all came back fine. Even with that, I'm still feeling uneasy and it's hard to breathe. What should I do?
