I'm a bit confused about how to use my Duolin inhaler and Foracart 400. Should I be using the Duolin inhaler every day, or just when I'm having a tough time breathing? Also, I've been told I need to take Foracart 400 dailywhy is that important? It would really help to understand when and how I should be using these, especially when I'm not sure if I'm having an emergency or not.

Duolin inhaler is typically used for emergency relief of acute symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath in conditions such as asthma or COPD. It is not meant for daily use. On the other hand, Foracart 400 is prescribed for daily use to help manage chronic respiratory conditions and prevent flare-ups. Always follow your doctor's instructions for proper usage.

Lately, I've noticed my oxygen levels are hovering around 97-99 and my pulse rate is about 70-78, but I'm still having this on-and-off breathing issue. It feels like my chest gets heavy, especially in the evenings, and it's been going on for about 10 days now. On top of that, my stomach feels a bit swollen. Could there be something serious going on here, or should I just maybe tweak something in my routine? What do you think?

I've been dealing with chest pain since January 2017, and even though all my blood tests like CBC, LFT, KFT, ECG, and an ultrasound of the abdomen came back negative, the X-ray found an infection in my left lung. A CT scan showed that the upper left lobe has collapsed, but the bronchoscopy didn't reveal anything. My main worry is that the infection seems to be getting worse according to the X-rays. I've been taking the medicines prescribed by my doctor, like Macox Plus, Pyzinia 1000, Combutol 800, and Durapain for the past two months. I'm really concerned about whether these medicines are enough to tackle the infection and help with my situation. What else can I do or look into to improve my condition?
