I'm dealing with some pretty nasty seasonal bronchitis it's like I can't catch my breath, my chest feels heavy, and there's this annoying wheezing sound. They did an asthma test and said I don't have it, but the doctor gave me doxycycline 400mg and montelukast. Thing is, it's not really helping. What else can I try?

I've been a bit worried about something. Back in April 2021, when I had Covid, I had an HRCT scan, and they found a small, ill-defined nodule in the superior segment of my right lower lung lobe. I'm 33 and wondering if maybe I should get another HRCT scan soon or wait a bit to check on whats going on with it. What do you recommend?

yes do one more hrct scan.

I've been taking asthalin pills and accidentally took 4mg instead of 2mg for 35 days. Now I'm having some weird symptoms like a fast heartbeat and shivering. I've switched to using an inhaler for 34 days but those symptoms haven't gone away. I keep waking up suddenly when I'm about to fall asleep, and it's freaking me out a bit. Any advice on how I can deal with these side effects?
