I'm experiencing frequent shortness of breath for several months now. I've always had a habit of taking deep breaths since I was a kid, but it's been feeling more uncomfortable lately. I mostly have a sedentary lifestyle because I'm working from home. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

I've noticed nail clubbing in all my fingers and toes, but there's no pain, just big clubbed nails. I'm really concerned about it and would like to know how I can treat it. Could you please provide some advice or solutions for this?

Nail clubbing can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. In your case, since you do not have any pain, it is important to determine the root cause of the clubbing. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. If it is related to a heart or lung condition, addressing that condition may help improve the nail clubbing. In the meantime, maintaining good overall health and keeping your nails well-trimmed can help manage the symptoms.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between an MDI inhaler and an MDI transhaler. I know transhalers are used with transpacers, but is there anything else that sets them apart? Like, are there differences in how they work, how effective they are, or even side effects? I'd love to get some insight on this.

Transhalers are easy,and delivery of the drug is much assured.if you have good hand, mouth co ordination, Mdi are also good.if you do not have good co ordination, transhalers are best.
