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 living in a cold climate, and for the past couple of years, as winter approaches, I've noticed I have this ongoing breathing problem along with a cough that produces phlegm. It seems to linger all winter long. I've tried using some anti-cough syrups, but they haven't really helped much. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

I've been keeping track of my blood oxygen levels ever since I had COVID about six weeks ago. Lately, I've noticed that after climbing stairs, my oxygen levels sometimes drop to around 93-94 for a bit, and it takes about a minute to go back up to 96-97. I'm a bit concerned because I never really checked these numbers before having COVID. Should I be worried about this change in my oxygen levels, or is this just a normal recovery process? When I'm walking or doing the 6-minute test, my oxygen levels are fine at around 96-97, and theyre good when I'm sitting too, around 97-98. Does this sound alright to you?

nothing to worry , continue your normal life

I'm a bit worried because it's been two months since I tested positive for COVID, and now I'm experiencing breathlessness for the past four days. The doctor mentioned there's some infection in my chest. Do you think I should see a cardiologist, or should I stick with the current treatment plan?
