I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

I'm a bit worried and have some questions about my situation. I've been an asthmatic for quite some time now, and I was addicted to alcohol for 15 years. I stopped drinking completely in 2016 and started smoking weed instead. It's been two years since then, and I've realized that I haven't needed my inhaler, Foracart, for the past six months. I feel like weed might have helped with my asthma, but now I'm keen on quitting smoking weed as well. I'm curious to know if there are medicines available that contain weed or if there are alternative ways to consume weed in a medicinal form. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm having an issue with my oximeter where it won't show the RR reading, except for a few brief moments. It works perfectly fine for others when they use it on their finger, but this problem only happens when I use it. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
