I'm really worried about my friend's asthma. He's been struggling with it for years and now he's dealing with lung contraction. I'm wondering what kind of treatment options are available for this situation. Is there anything specific we should consider to help with both the asthma and the lung issues? Any advice would be so appreciated.

I'm in a bit of a situation and could use your advice. My dad's been dealing with this interstitial-looking disease and he's currently on medication for it. The doctor said we should consider getting an oxygen concentrator for him. I want to make sure I choose the right equipment and find a reliable dealer. Could you suggest any specific models or places where I could purchase one?

kindly take help of pharmacist

I'm experiencing this feeling of suffocation sometimes, and it's really hard to catch my breath. I've been gasping for some fresh air and find myself needing to breathe through my mouth a lot. What's going on here? Should I be concerned about this?
