I'm dealing with this thing called bronchitis asthma for like 8 years now. Currently, I'm on Montair LC and using Maxiflow 250 rotacaps. Here's the thingwhenever the weather changes, I end up with this nasty cold and a bad cough with green phlegm, and there's a little chest pain too. The Montair LC helps a bit, but it makes me super sleepy afterward. Could you recommend something that might help without making me feel so drowsy?

I've had TB before back in 2010, but I got through it with treatment. Recently though, I've been experiencing some worrying symptoms. I've got a little chest pain mainly on the right side, there's dry coughing, and it kind of feels like there's a bloody taste in my mouth when I'm trying to get to sleep. There's also some appetite loss going on. Could these be signs of something serious, or am I overthinking it?
