I'm dealing with asthma and recently had an asthma attack. I'm using my inhaler twice a day now, but I'm experiencing chest pain, a heavy feeling in my chest, and some breathing issues after using it. Could you give me some advice or suggest any medication that could help with these symptoms?

I'm a bit confused about how to take the mucinac 600 that was prescribed to me. Is it okay to dissolve it in warm water, or is there a specific way I should be taking it? Would appreciate some guidance!

I'm curious about monitoring my lung capacity weekly with a peak flow meter. It consistently shows 350 to 400 LM, which stays within the green zone, and although I feel okay, I'm wondering if that's sufficient to keep track of my lung health. Since being diagnosed with bronchitis, I've become increasingly concerned about my lungs, especially because of the thick phlegm. Should I be doing more than just the peak flow meter, like maybe a pulmonary function test, to get a clearer picture of my lung function? Id appreciate some advice on this.

do pulmonary function test once ,no need to repeat every week
