I've been having really bad shortness of breath and this tight feeling in my chest, especially when it's cold and rainy like in November and December. I've noticed it's happening a lot more often, like almost every day now. I can't sleep in the early mornings because I start coughing and sneezing, and then immediately feel out of breath. I usually take Seraflo 250 and it helps for a bit, but I'd really love some advice or to know if theres a better medication that might help me deal with this. Any suggestions?

My dad's 56, and he's been getting shortness of breath when he walks even short distances, climbs stairs, or does small tasks. Sometimes just coughing can make it hard for him to breathe. Can you suggest any medicines or foods that might help? I'm really concerned.

I'm really worried about starting to use a revoliser. My parents keep telling me it's something I'll have to use for the rest of my life, which makes me hesitant to start it even though it's been prescribed to me. They're big believers in Ayurveda, and I wonder if that might be a better option for me. Will I really have to rely on a revoliser forever? Could it become something I get addicted to? Would love some clarity on this.
