I'm an asthmatic and usually use Foracort 200 rotacaps during my asthma attacks. But every time after I use it, I feel really weak, like I can't even hold a glass, and I get super sleepy for almost 12 hours. It's quite concerning and I can't figure out why this is happening. Can you help me understand?

I've been dealing with pretty severe Khasi and cough for the last two weeks, and even though I've been taking medicine prescribed by my family doctor, it hasn't improved at all. I'm wondering if there could be another reason for this, or if there's something else I should be doing?

#NAME?

I'm sharing my chest X-ray results from after I had COVID. Can you let me know if everything looks alright with my lungs, and if there's a chance they'll keep getting better? I've also attached the X-ray taken during COVID, about 30 days ago, for comparison.

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been having this issue for the last few years where I can breathe just fine during the day, but when I'm sleeping, particularly in the early mornings, theres this sound from my chest and I struggle to breathe properly. I end up waking up and have to do some breathing exercises to feel normal again. Even though my lung function seems okay according to the doctors I've seen, this is really messing with my sleep, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any advice?
