I'm dealing with some really frustrating wheezing and breathing issues that started back in January. It seems like something specific is triggering it, but I can't figure out what. I've had severe wheezing four times and had to get Deriphyllin injections, but they don't seem to be helping much. I did notice that it might be related to eating non-veg food, as my asthma flares up afterwards, and this time, even Deriphyllin isn't fixing it. Can you recommend the right kind of inhaler I should use for a lasting solution to this allergic asthma?

I'm dealing with allergic bronchitis and allergic rhinitis for a while now, and I'm taking Ab Phylline SR 200 and Symbicort. I just got my blood test results back, and my ESR is at 24, which seems a bit high, and my lymphocytes are at 43.8, above the usual limit. Is this something I should be concerned about in relation to my allergy issues? Could these levels be contributing to my symptoms?

Continue symbicort inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.Rest continue all the medications.

I'm having trouble breathing and can't seem to get air through my nose for a while now, so I've been breathing through my mouth instead. But lately, even that's becoming tough and I feel like I have to take big breaths just to get enough oxygen. What's going on with this?

So Ive been checking my oxygen levels with an oximeter and it seems to start at 96 but then drops to 88 within just a couple of minutes. Im not showing any symptoms and I havent tested positive for COVID. Should I be worried about this or could it just be that the oximeter isnt working right?

Better to check with other oimetres,if its still showing the same get an ray doen and visit Physician for appropriate management
