I'm having trouble with shortness of breath at night and it's been really bothering me. I visited a pulmonologist who had me do tests like ECG, CBP, PFT, and a chest X-ray, but everything came back normal. They prescribed Montair FX, Nexito Plus, and esomeprazole for a month, which made me feel better. But now, two months later, the symptoms have come back. My doctor said to keep taking Montair FX every night. What should I do? It's frustrating and I'm worried about what's happening.

I'm curious about something that's been happening since I had Covid a couple of months ago. I've been noticing a drop in my stamina and I'm experiencing wheezing. It tends to get better when I'm active outdoors, but I still need my inhaler pretty often. Is this something that's going to stick around for a while, or can I expect it to improve eventually?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I'm a 63-year-old woman and I've been dealing with breathing problems for the past ten years. I'm currently using medications like deriphyllin 150, essiflo puff, combimist puff, asthalin inhaler, and otrivin on a daily basis. I've also got a dust mite allergy. Is it alright for me to take all of these every day?
