I'm dealing with wheezing and got this dust allergy thing going on too. My PFT results came back saying there's some restrictive airways action happening. I'm using Maxiflo 250mg rotocaps inhalers, but I still get a bit of wheezing sometimes. Does that sound like I need to switch up my meds, or is this normal?

Can we do yoga and breathing exercises if the air quality index is 202? I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects on my health with that level of air quality. Is it safe to exercise outdoors, or should I take any precautions?

Air quality is 200 so the patient is not advised yoga and exercises since the air quality is unhealthy.

I've smoked 43 cigarettes over the last 8 months and I've stopped now, but I'm really worried. How much harm could that have done to my health? Am I safe, or should I be concerned about any potential diseases? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

Smoking cessation is advised to the patient.

I'm feeling really suffocated and it's pretty uncomfortable when I breathe. It seems to take quite a bit of effort. I'm also dealing with anxiety and have had anxiety attacks quite a few times. Could these breathing issues be related to my anxiety, or do you think it might be something else? What should I do next?

try doing yoga and exercises.
