Question

I'm really worried because his oxygen levels are dropping, but the RTPCR test came back negative. We're still concerned it might be Covid. The problem is there's no oxygen cylinder or bed available, and we can't get through to the MH LKO team members for any support or medicine. We feel so helpless watching his condition worsen. Can you please advise us on what to do?

Question

I'm really worried about my allergic asthma that's been going on for 20 years now. Every March, it seems to get worse, and I've been using the Seretide Accuhaler 50050mcg for the past 15 years. Recently, I've been experiencing difficulty in breathing and a tight feeling in my chest. I just got my chest X-ray done, and it showed haziness in the left lower lung zone with prominent vascular markings. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm really concerned.

Question

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, especially when I go up the stairs. It feels like I'm getting out of breath really quickly. Can you tell me what test I should get to figure out what's going on?

Question

I've been having this breathlessness issue for a while now. It's strange because I don't have asthma and my blood pressure is normal. The doctor did some kind of small lung test using this tiny machine on my finger, and that came out normal too. But I keep getting this really frequent cough and have problems with acidity. Could they be related? I'm wondering if this is something serious. What's your take on it?
