Question

I've had asthma since I was a kid, and I used to be on Budecort 200 daily and Asthalin occasionally. But over time, I stopped using inhalers. Now, I find myself getting a wheezing cough maybe five or six times a year. Is it a good idea to start using inhalers again, or should I avoid them? I'm really hesitant to go back on them. What do you think?

Question

I'm planning a trip to Leh where the altitude ranges from 10,000 to 18,000 feet, but I've got some concerns. I had a heart bypass surgery back in 2004 and was diagnosed with ILD in 2015. I'm currently taking six Pirfenex daily. Do you think it would be safe for me to go on this trip to such high altitudes, or could it pose any risks to my health?

Question

I've been dealing with TB for about 4 months now and taking meds for it. My recent CT scan showed some fibrotic changes in my lungs, and I occasionally feel chest pain and some inflammation. Should I be worried about this or do you think it'll improve on its own? I'm also preparing for a civil services exam and they check lung function in the medical test, so I'm a bit anxious about it possibly affecting my results. What should I do?
