I'm really worried about my asthma and I'm looking for natural remedies to manage it. I've heard about things like essential oils and dietary changes, but I'm not sure what's safe or effective. Can you share some reliable information about natural ways to help with asthma symptoms, or if there are any risks I should be aware of?

I sometimes feel a heaviness in my breathing, especially in the evenings. But when I try running or jogging for around 10 minutes, I don't get breathless or experience a shortness of breath. Is it possible that I have asthma? Im wondering if people with asthma can still run like that. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

do methacholine test

I've noticed my SPO2 levels are usually around 92-94, especially after swimming, even if it's late in the evening. I have sleep apnea and I'm using the Foracort 200 inhaler twice a day. I used to have wheezing problems, but thankfully, that's not an issue anymore. Should I be worried about my oxygen levels getting worse because of sleep apnea? Is it normal for someone with this condition to have lower SPO2, and how much of a concern is this?

the SPO2 of 92 is okay. donot worry much ,if you are having any symptoms like breathlessness then contact a doctor

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been coughing since December and I sent his CT scan and FNAC test reports. The FNAC report mentions tuberculosis and sarcoidosis, but no AFB was found. The doctor said it's tuberculosis and prescribed Akurit4, some Benadon, and the Maxiflo inhaler. But his sputum and blood tests didn't show TB. Could it really be tuberculosis? I'm really concerned and was hoping to get some advice.

since fnac has confirmed, its tuberculosis only
