I've just been diagnosed with mild intermittent asthma and my doctor prescribed the Foracort 200 brown inhaler. I've been using it for 5 days now, but I haven't really noticed any improvement. How long does it typically take to work? Is there anything else I should be doing, or is it normal to wait a bit longer to see results? Would love some guidance on this.

It can take a few days to a couple of weeks to notice significant improvement with inhalers like Foracort 200, as they help reduce inflammation in the airways. If you're not feeling better soon, it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm 27, weigh 72kg, and have a bit of a belly. Could this be why I'm having trouble breathing, even when I'm just sitting? It's definitely different from how I felt before I had the belly.

Yes, excess belly fat can sometimes put pressure on your diaphragm, which may lead to breathing difficulties, even while sitting. It can restrict lung expansion and make breathing feel more labored.

I'm feeling worried because I've been having this cough and a kind of vibration in my chest when I breathe, mainly at night or in the morning. I took cetcip l as my doctor suggested, and it seemed to help, but the symptoms came back just a day after finishing the medication. Should I be concerned about this? Is it something serious?

not that much serious
