I'm an asthma patient and I've been dealing with it for 15 years. I used to use the Seretide 500 inhaler, but lately, I haven't been able to find it. So now I'm using Asthalin 100, like 7 or 8 times a day with two puffs each time. Is this a problem?

I'm a bit concerned about my oxygen saturation levels after recovering from COVID. Sometimes, while I'm sleeping, my SpO2 drops to around 91-92, but during the day it seems normal at 95. My CT scan showed a value of 1225. Should I be worried about these numbers, and how long might it take for everything to get back to normal?

I've been having a hard time breathing for about a week now. Every time I try to lie down, I start coughing a lot and feel like there's something stuck in my lungs, and my cough sounds whooshy. I noticed that if I sleep on an incline, I manage to get some rest. I'm a bit overweight, and my dad used to have sleep apnea, so I'm worried it might be something like that. Can you let me know what might be going on and if there's anything specific I should be doing or checking for?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of asthma or possibly sleep apnea. I recommend you try using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to help with your breathing difficulties. You can take 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, similar to what your father used. I suggest you consult with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
