I'm Jack, 28 years old, and I've been taking Seroflo 250mg every day for the last 15 years. I'm really concerned about whether this could lead to any issues like impotency or other serious side effects. Could you please let me know what to watch out for?

Long-term use of Seroflo 250 (Salmeterol and Fluticasone) for 15 years may increase the risk of systemic side effects, including adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, and cataracts, but impotency is not a commonly reported side effect

View allI've just had a chest X-ray, and while most of it looks good, there's this one finding that says "tenting of the left diaphragm grade 1.1." What exactly does that mean? Is it something I should be worried about health-wise? Could there be a link to my heart or any other reasons for this? What kind of symptoms should I keep an eye out for?
Based on your symptoms and self-examination, it's possible that you may have: 1. Anal fissure 2. Sentinel pile (a type of hemorrhoid) 3. Anal abscess Consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. Digital rectal examination (DRE) 2. Anoscopy 3. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) In the meantime, consider: - Increasing fiber intake - Staying hydrated - Avoiding straining during bowel movements - Applying topical creams or ointments (e.g., hydrocortisone) for symptom relief

I'm really worried about my mom, she's 63 and has had asthma for a long while. Lately, she's been having trouble with her breathing and she's also been getting headaches. We went to the hospital and got an X-ray, ECG, and COVID test done, and thankfully, everything came back normal. But I'm still concerned and thinking of keeping her on oxygen at home for a bit because I'm afraid of the risks at the hospital. Can you tell me how to get an oxygen cylinder for home use and what precautions I should take?
give asthma medications instead of oxygen
