Can I use doxofylline 200mg tablets for my asthma? Every morning when I wake up, I have an asthma attack.

Doxofylline 200mg is commonly used to help manage asthma symptoms by relaxing the airways. However, it's important to consult your doctor before starting it, especially if you're experiencing frequent asthma attacks. They can adjust the dosage or prescribe the right treatment for your condition.

I'm really worried about my grandfather who was just admitted to the ICU after having a cerebral stroke. Now he's got pneumonia, and I noticed the doctor reduced his oxygen cylinder level from 8 to 5. Ever since, his SpO2 has been around 85. I'm trying to understand why the doctor would lower his oxygen like that, especially when his condition doesn't seem to be getting better. What could be the reason for this decision?

I'm having a bit of a tough time with my breathing lately and it's causing me to feel really concerned. I've been experiencing a tight feeling, almost like I'm suffocating, and it's hard to breathe normally. To make matters worse, I've been getting bad headaches around five times a week, and at night, I get these chest pains that make my breathing even more difficult. I just don't know what's going on, and it's really starting to worry me. Could you help me figure out what might be causing these issues and what I should do about it?

Is it okay for a 17-year-old boy to use an asthalin inhaler? If I start using it, do I need to carry it everywhere I go? Could it actually lead to more breathing issues after using it? I checked online and found info saying the inhaler works for about 4-6 hours after taking two puffs. Does that mean the breathing problems will definitely return after those hours?

consult pulmonologist he will guide you about good inhalers that u have to take for only one or two times according to your requirements
