Question

I've had bronchial asthma for the past 15 years and use an inhaler regularly. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Montair 10 for the rest of my life. Are there any side effects if I keep taking it long-term? Could you give me some advice on this?

Question

I recently came across an old x-ray report that mentions 'healed tuberculosis,' and I'm honestly quite concerned. Does this mean that I still have active TB, or does it signify something else? Am I currently dealing with tuberculosis in any way? Just trying to understand what this really implies for my health.

Question

I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past five years and have been relying on an inhaler and Montair LC tablets. I'm starting to worry about how long Ill need to stay on this medication. Could you help me understand if there are long-term effects I should be concerned about, or if there are any other treatments I might explore?

Question

I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and could really use some advice. When I'm teaching or talking a lot, I get this strange pain in my trachea, from my throat to my chest, almost like chest pain, but my ECG was normal. I've had breathlessness too, especially when putting pressure on my voice during classes. My COVID test was positive back on April 23rd and then again on May 5th. I had an HRCT on May 9th which was 0, D-dimer was 490, and CRP was 3.95. Now I'm feeling weak, have a little bit of a dry cough, a sense of cold on the inside, and some gastric issues. What do you think could be going on, and how can I address these symptoms?
