I'm really concerned because for the past 15 days, it feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen when I'm breathing deeply. I've also been experiencing nausea. What could be causing this?

View allI'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?
Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.

I'm an ex-smoker and used to smoke about 10 cigarettes a day for 7 years. It's been 6 months since I quit, but now I'm dealing with acid reflux and have pain in my chest and ribs, plus a cold. My ECG came back normal, but I'm really worried. Do you think this could be lung cancer? Also, how would I go about getting a lung cancer screening in Bangalore?
