I recently did a spirometry test and got FeV1 levels of 107. Is that normal or does it mean I might have a breathing issue? I'm also curious about what kind of breathing problems it could indicate. My oxygen saturation always seems to be around 98%, and after doing a 6-minute walking test, it stayed the same at 98% before and after. Could you help me understand what this might mean?

View allI've been dealing with walking pneumonia quite a bit; it happens at least three times every year and has been like that for around eight years now. It seems to be getting worse each time and lasts longer too. I'm really worried it might be something serious like lung cancer, especially since Ive been smoking cigarettes and was exposed to a lot of secondhand smoke growing up. Is it normal to get walking pneumonia this frequently, or should I be talking to a professional about it?

I'm a bit confused about how to use my Duolin inhaler and Foracart 400. Should I be using the Duolin inhaler every day, or just when I'm having a tough time breathing? Also, I've been told I need to take Foracart 400 dailywhy is that important? It would really help to understand when and how I should be using these, especially when I'm not sure if I'm having an emergency or not.
Duolin inhaler is typically used for **emergency relief** of acute symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath in conditions such as asthma or COPD. It is not meant for daily use. On the other hand, **Foracart 400** is prescribed for **daily use** to help manage chronic respiratory conditions and prevent flare-ups. Always follow your doctor's instructions for proper usage.
