I'm a bit confused about my recent test results and could use some advice. My spirometry report came back normal, but my FeNO level is around 35. I'm not sure what this could mean. Could it be a sign of asthma or allergies, or maybe something else? Also, my SPO2 level is consistently at 98. Would love to get a better understanding of all this.

this test indicates the amount of nitric oxide exhaled, which is used to diagnose asthma. since your feno value is increased it might be asthma, but not a confirmatory test

I'm really worried about my dad. He's had coughing problems for the past few days, and he just did a Mantoux test which showed a 45 mm reading after 48 hours. Could this be a sign of tuberculosis?

I've been feeling really sleepy all day even though I get a good night's sleep. My parents have mentioned that my breathing stops for a few seconds while I'm asleep, and I also have a snoring problem. Could these things be related to why I'm so tired? What might be causing it?

I'm a 53-year-old man living in Delhi and every year during the humid months of July through September, I start getting these breathing problems. So far, I've been taking Montair LC every couple of days at night, and it helps. But sometimes if I forget, I end up using Asthaline inhaler when I get breathless, and then I take Montair LC, which usually makes things better. I've recently heard that Montair LC might have some side effects, and now I'm a bit worried about continuing with it. Should I just stick to using the Asthaline inhaler whenever I feel I need it, instead of taking Montair LC regularly?

if it is required then only take monteclc , otherwise you can use asthalin inhaler
