I'm really worried about my dad. He's 64 and has both asthma and diabetes, and I'm unsure if he should get Covishield or Covaxin. I'm so confused about whether any tests are necessary for asthma patients before getting vaccinated. I read that Bharat Biotech mentioned that people with allergies shouldn't take Covaxin, which adds to my worries. Also, I've heard about some people dying after getting the vaccine, and it's quite concerning. What could be the reason behind this? Can you help clarify these concerns for me?

Is it okay for a 17-year-old boy to use an asthalin inhaler? If I start using it, do I need to carry it everywhere I go? Could it actually lead to more breathing issues after using it? I checked online and found info saying the inhaler works for about 4-6 hours after taking two puffs. Does that mean the breathing problems will definitely return after those hours?

consult pulmonologist he will guide you about good inhalers that u have to take for only one or two times according to your requirements

I'm feeling really concerned because I had COVID over 8 months ago, and it was pretty severe with CORAD 5 and pneumonia. Since then, I just haven't felt like myself. I have this ongoing pain in my chest, mostly on the left side, and now my eyesight seems to be getting blurry too. I did an ECG and echo back in October, and they looked fine, and I had a chest X-ray in December and another ECG in January, which were also normal. I'm really at a loss about what to do next. Which type of doctor should I see, and is there a chance I'll ever feel like I did before COVID without all these issues?
