I'm 48 and have been dealing with asthma for about 4 years. I've been taking Telekast L once a day and Deriphyllin twice a day for it. I don't have any issues with blood pressure or diabetes. But lately, I've noticed something strange. For the past two days, just after I fall asleep, I wake up suddenly like I'm gasping for air. It feels like my breath stops, and I get this weird sensation like ants are biting all over my body. I'm really worried about what could be causing this. Could you give me an idea of what might be happening, what kind of treatment I should look into, and if there are any medical tests I should consider? May God bless you.

I'm 23 and have had issues with bronchitis in the past. I used to rely on an Asthaline inhaler whenever I felt breathless. A few months ago, I went to a different doctor who gave me Formonide 200, and I found it worked way better than Asthaline. I haven't needed Asthaline since I started using Formonide, but yesterday I needed it again and it didn't give me long-term relief. I'm curious about why Asthaline isn't as effective anymore and if I should stick with Formonide or consider something else. What do you think?
It seems that your bronchitis symptoms may have worsened or changed over time. While **Formonide 200** (a steroid inhaler) may provide better long-term relief, the **Asthaline inhaler** (a bronchodilator) is used for immediate symptom relief but may not provide sustained effects. I recommend discussing your symptoms with your doctor, as a long-term management plan with the appropriate medication may be needed.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards quitting smoking and cleaning your lungs! Here's a comprehensive solution to help remove tar from your lungs: Natural Remedies 1. Drink plenty of water: Hydration helps flush out toxins, including tar. 2. Steam inhalation: Inhale steam from a bowl of hot water or a steam humidifier to loosen mucus and tar. 3.
