I'm feeling a bit anxious because I've been having shortness of breath ever since I got my first dose of Covaxin. I did see a doctor, and they suggested I take Broclear and get an X-ray. I got the X-ray results back, and they were mostly normal except for this note about increased bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean, and what steps should I take next?

I'm someone who's been dealing with wheezing for over 20 years now. It's not extremely serious, but I've been using inhalers occasionally. I'm really hoping to stop relying on them. I haven't faced a major attack in a couple of years, just minor discomforts where the inhaler comes in handy. Is there a way I can stop using inhalers for good? I've tried ayurveda before, but it didn't quite work and I ended up stopping it. What else can I do?

avoid allergens. steam inhalation
