I'm really worried because my IgE level is 1180. I've been experiencing wheezing and coughing, and I also have some red spots on my skin. I consulted a doctor, and they mentioned it might be asthma. I've got my PFT reports attached. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I've noticed something odd with my cigarettes lately. Whenever I smoke, the filter turns brown. This has been happening for the past couple of weeks. Could you please let me know what's going on? It's starting to worry me.

I'm having trouble with shortness of breath at night and it's been really bothering me. I visited a pulmonologist who had me do tests like ECG, CBP, PFT, and a chest X-ray, but everything came back normal. They prescribed Montair FX, Nexito Plus, and esomeprazole for a month, which made me feel better. But now, two months later, the symptoms have come back. My doctor said to keep taking Montair FX every night. What should I do? It's frustrating and I'm worried about what's happening.

I've been dealing with this morning cold that lasts for 12 hours every day for about a year now. Initially, I thought it was just a dust allergy, but it's been getting worse. Could it be something else? What should I do?

You may be experiencing allergic rhinitis. I recommend trying an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily in the morning to help alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Fluticasone (brand name Flonase) 1-2 sprays in each nostril daily can also be beneficial in reducing nasal congestion and inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an allergist for further evaluation and management.
