I'm a bit worried because I had a chest X-ray on May 20, which was all clear. But then another X-ray on July 1 showed tenting of the left hemi diaphragm. Can someone explain what this means and if I should be concerned? I was COVID positive on April 9, and I haven't been vaccinated yet. Plus, my heart rate is pretty high, and I'm experiencing chest pain. What should I do next?

I'm dealing with some bothersome allergies from dust and smoke, and it's making it tough to breathe. I'm getting the feeling these might be signs of asthma. Could you help me out with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing asthma symptoms due to your allergies. To help with your breathing difficulties, I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to provide immediate relief. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from a maintenance inhaler like Flovent (fluticasone) to help control your asthma symptoms in the long term. The typical dosage for adults is 2 puffs twice a day. It's important to use these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal management of your asthma symptoms.

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'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.
