I'm hearing a whistling sound when I breathe out, especially in the mornings. Coughing happens too, but it's pretty rare. I've been taking monticope and using an aerocort inhaler for relief when the issues kick in. Can you help me understand why this is happening and if there's anything else I should be doing about it?

  1. Possible Causes
    a. The whistling sound, known as wheezing, may indicate airway constriction, often seen in asthma or COPD.
    b. Morning symptoms suggest possible nocturnal asthma or environmental triggers.

  2. Current Treatment
    a. Monticope (montelukast and levocetirizine) helps with allergic symptoms.
    b. Aerocort inhaler (beclomethasone and formoterol) provides relief by reducing inflammation and opening airways.

  3. Recommendations
    a. Continue prescribed medications as directed.
    b. Monitor symptoms and note any triggers or patterns.
    c. Consult a healthcare provider for a review of your treatment plan and consider spirometry for lung function assessment.
    d. Avoid known allergens and irritants, and maintain a clean environment to reduce symptoms.

I've been wondering about something. If a person can hold their breath for 30 to 40 seconds, does that mean their lungs are in good health? Is this actually true, or is it just a myth? I'd really like to know what you think.

Do pulmonary function test if u want to know your lungs are healthy

I've been having this really odd experience where my oxygen levels are consistently around 98 to 100, and my blood pressure is at 12074, which seems normal. But at night, I often feel like I'm not getting enough air or like I can't breathe, even though the oximeter says I'm at 99 to 100. It'll wake me up, and it makes sleeping kind of an anxiety-riddled task because I'm worried about not being able to breathe even when I'm actually doing it. I talked to a doctor about it, and they had me do a chest x-ray and liver function test, which came back alright, and gave me some meds. Still, when I try to sleep, there's this constant fear of being short of breath, and, for like 10 to 15 seconds, I actually do feel breathless. Any advice on what might be going on?

since your saturation is normal, it might be due to anxiety . try reducing your stress
