Can we do yoga and breathing exercises if the air quality index is 202? I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects on my health with that level of air quality. Is it safe to exercise outdoors, or should I take any precautions?

Air quality is 200 so the patient is not advised yoga and exercises since the air quality is unhealthy.

I've been experiencing a need to take long breaths frequently, mostly during the night after dinner, but sometimes in the morning and during the day too. It's not constant, but it has happened about 23 times over the last year and lasts for about 10 to 15 days before going away. I'm really concerned about this. I also have issues with sudden and continuous sneezing. What could be causing these symptoms?
it might be allergic rhinitis , take tablet montec lc whenever you are having this symptoms
