I'm an asthmatic and I've been waking up every night 2 to 3 times to use my asthalin inhaler for the last 10 years. I also use it 2 to 3 times during the day. But when there's a sudden change in the climate at night, I take montek lc and notice that the next day I don't need the inhaler at all. I'm wondering if I can use montek lc every day instead of the inhaler. Which one would be the better option for me?

It's important to note that Montelukast (Montek LC) helps control inflammation and reduce asthma symptoms, but it doesn't provide immediate relief like your inhaler. While Montelukast can help manage symptoms long-term, it's typically not a substitute for your inhaler in acute situations. I recommend discussing your routine with your doctor to ensure both your long-term management and immediate relief needs are addressed effectively.

View allI'm worried because it feels like my deep breaths aren't fully satisfying, even though my normal breaths seem okay. After 7 to 8 regular breaths, I feel like I need a deeper breath but it's incomplete. Plus, I'm feeling kind of weak, maybe even feverish, but I don't actually have a fever. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm feeling really breathless for the past 5 days, but I don't have any cough or flu symptoms. I've tried taking anti-allergic and anti-acidic nasal sprays, and Ive been using steam. I've also taken Novacef 500, Xyxal M, and Sompraz 40. I've got some relief, but it's not completely better. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

I've been having trouble with my breathing when I walk. It feels like I'm not taking full breaths, and there's this heaviness in my chest. I've had an X-ray, CT scan of my chest, an ECG, and a 2D echo of my heart, and everything came back normal. I'm really confused about what could be causing this. Any ideas?
