I'm a bit worried about the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler I've been using for the past five days as prescribed by my pulmonologist. Could it potentially lead to secondary infections, like black fungus? Just trying to understand the risks better.

I've been dealing with some breathing issues lately, like I get short of breath and feel pain in my ribs and lungs whenever I take a deep breath. I also feel a lot more tired than usual, and it's weird because I don't really feel like eating much anymore. This has been going on for about two months now. Could this be something serious, or is it maybe just stress or something else?
