I'm really struggling with my asthma. I've had it for 18 years, but lately, my inhaler just isn't cutting it anymore. It's getting harder to manage my symptoms. Do you have any advice or new treatments I should consider?

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?
