I'm having some trouble understanding what's going on with my current meds. I've had breathing issues for the past couple of days even while just sitting or lying down. My pulmonologist gave me some medications: Budamate 200 transhaler, monteclc zostum o ab flo, and I've been on them for 2 days and do feel a bit better. But the inhaler makes me dizzy and my hands and legs feel weird. It's my first time using an inhaler, so I'm not sure if I should keep using it. The meds are for 5 days, so can I just stop the inhaler after that?

I've been having trouble breathing when I walk up two flights of stairs, and I start panting a lot during cricket. I struggle with just one over and I'm out of breath quickly. I used to be a chain smoker, and I'm really concerned if my past smoking might be affecting my breathing now. Could it be something serious, or is there a way to improve my situation?

My mom recently got over COVID and tested negative, but her CT scan shows around 64% of her lungs are affected. She's been doing breathing exercises online, but her oxygen levels dip when she goes for a walk. What should we do? I'm really worried.

When I was really young, I had both of my lungs collapse. It's been around 18 years since then, and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should still be worried about or if there's a possibility of any complications popping up this long after. Would appreciate any insights you might have!

if you are not having any symptoms then you need not worry.
