I'm just curious about something and a bit worried. Is it possible for a condition like asthma, which has been pretty much under control, to start acting up after getting a COVID vaccine? I've heard some stories and just want to know if there's anything to that.

My grandma is having serious trouble breathing, and we're really worried. The doctor told us her lungs are damaged and weak, likely because she had a problem with kidney tuberculosis which spread. We've been going back and forth to the hospital multiple times this year for this issue. Each time, she's been given medications and nebuliser treatments, and she even had oxygen therapy just 10 days ago. But the breathing issues have started again today. Unfortunately, the doctor we're seeing isn't very open or clear with us about what's going on and what steps to take next. Who should we consult for a better diagnosis and treatment plan? We're desperate for some guidance here.
