I'm 22 and whenever I walk up and down the stairs, I get quite breathless. Can you suggest what I can do to help improve my airflow? Also, what kind of tests should I consider to pinpoint the issue? I've heard about the ABD testwould that be relevant for these symptoms? Plus, even a short 5-minute dance leaves me out of breath. Any advice would be really helpful.

My mother-in-law has been using a Duolin inhaler and albuterol sulfate 90mcg while in the USA, but now that we're in India, I can't find albuterol here. Can she use an Asthalin inhaler 100mcg instead? I'm a bit worried about making the right switch.
