Is there a specific test I should take to make sure I'm completely cured after finishing my 6-month course of akurit4 and akurit3? I'm a bit worried and just want to be sure everything is clear.

Question

I've been dealing with winter asthma for about 6 years now, and my doctor previously had me on romilast 10 and theoasthalin tablets for 5 winters straight, but they come with a bunch of side effects. Another doctor suggested inhalers might be better than oral meds, so this year I've switched to using a regular asthalin inhaler. However, it's not really cutting it; even after 4 sprays, the relief only lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. It's still a bit cold here at night in Kolkata, so the asthma is persistent. Could you recommend a better inhaler? Would Seroflo 250 be a good option?

Question

I'm having trouble taking deep breaths lately. Sometimes I can manage it, but I mostly end up breathing through my mouth. This has been going on for about three weeks. I used to have other issues like stiffness in my fingers in the morning and pain in my right shoulder and upper arm, but those have either gone away or are getting better. I had a blood test back in January that showed high ESR and low platelets, but I feel okay now except for the deep breathing issue. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm planning to move to the UAE, but I'm worried about the medical clearance because of an old chest x-ray I had in 2013. Back then, it showed some congestion in the hilum and increased bronchovascular markings that were thought to be due to an infection in my lower respiratory tract, and there were also some patchy segments of pneumonitis near the heart. Everything else on the x-ray was fine, though. Since then, I've been healthy and haven't had any breathing issues, just the occasional cold and cough. I also had really high IgE levels at that time, but I've quit smoking for almost three years now. I'm concerned about whether these markings could be considered scars on the x-ray. Is there a way to address this, or do you think it could affect my medical approval? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
