I'm a bit worried after my spirometry test for a job preemployment check. The doctor mentioned something about a mild restriction. Does this mean I might be considered unfit for the job? I've attached my report to get some clarity on this. Can you help me understand what it all means?

View allI've been using Foracort 200 synchrobreathe, taking 2 puffs a day for the past couple of months. Lately, I've started experiencing nasal congestion and have noticed I'm not as hungry as before. I'm wondering if this could be a side effect of Foracort 200. Can you shed some light on this?

I'm feeling really frustrated about my health. I'm 32, unmarried, and I've never had issues like this before. I've been taking Pulmoclear 700 mg, Montek LC, and Amrox LS for over a month now, and it's got me worried. Are these symptoms of sinus or pulmonary problems? Is the mucus clogging and blocking my breathing because it feels like I'm starving for oxygen, and I've had to go into intensive care. Being alone at home makes it even tougher. Could this be a seasonal illness that I'll have to deal with every year, or is there a solution to fix it?
it is seasonal, it wil be cured by medications.

I'm trying to understand a few things that I'm experiencing right now. My recent chest X-ray showed hyperinflation of the lungs, but my doctor mentioned it might just be because I took a deep breath, saying the X-ray looks normal. The ENT said it could be early signs of asthma. Im on AB Phylline 100mg, Alex Syrup, and Prustalin Antihistamine, which have almost stopped my cough, but I still have phlegm and post-nasal drip, especially when I don't take Prustalin. I have a non-smoker background, no exposure to chemical fumes, but my mom does have asthma, and my IgE level came back at 440 with eosinophils last checked at 10.5. Is this really asthma? Should I be considering inhalers after finishing this current course of medication, and do the X-ray and PFT results seem normal to you?
Your current symptoms and reports suggest allergic airway inflammation that may be managed well without inhalers.Check with family history for asthma
