I'm dealing with this issue for the past few days and it's got me a bit worried. I'm allergic and under treatment from my pulmonologist. I take montoluekast tablets and use an inhaler three times a day. Lately, though, I've been experiencing this odd sensation where my breathing feels heavy, or like I can't completely exhale. It only lasts about 10 to 15 minutes and then it's gone. I can do all my activities like walking briskly for half an hour and jogging in the morning. I also do pranayam breathing exercises almost every day. Do you think I should get tested for something specific? Could there be an issue with my lungs?

I'm dealing with this constant breathlessness and I'm not sure if it's from a cold or maybe GERD. I'm having a hard time expanding my chest sometimes, and when I wake up, one of my nostrils is often blocked. Ive had an echo, ECG, TMT, and a chest X-ray done, and all are normal. Every now and then, I take theophylline, which seems to relax things, but I'm still unsure what's actually causing these issues. Could you shed some light on what might be going on?

I'm really worried about my grandfather. He's got bullous emphysema and has to use a nebulizer twice a day. In the morning, he uses Foracort respules and in the evening, Duolin respule. He's also on several tablets like Abflo, Cilacar, Mucinac 600, and a syrup called Ambrolite Levo. Lately, he's been having trouble breathing, especially when he walks or goes to the toilet. I'm wondering if Budecort respules might be a better option than Foracort. Could you give me some advice?

Budecort 200 rotacaps is advised to the patient.Rest continue all the medications.
