Question 1

I'm taking Montek LC, usually half a tablet at night, but sometimes I get shortness of breath during the day. Is it okay to take another half tablet in the morning too if that happens?

Accepted Answer

Montek LC is typically taken once a day, and it's best to follow your doctor's instructions. If you're experiencing shortness of breath or choking during the day, it's important to consult your doctor to discuss adjusting the dosage or considering an alternative treatment.

Question 2

I have two oximeters and I'm getting different readings from them. One shows 95 and the other shows 98 when I use them on the same finger. I'm not sure which one to trust. My friend's oximeter once showed 92 for me, but when I went to the hospital and checked with the electronic screen, it always showed 98. How can I figure out which reading is accurate?

Question 3

I'm 48 and have been dealing with asthma for about 4 years. I've been taking Telekast L once a day and Deriphyllin twice a day for it. I don't have any issues with blood pressure or diabetes. But lately, I've noticed something strange. For the past two days, just after I fall asleep, I wake up suddenly like I'm gasping for air. It feels like my breath stops, and I get this weird sensation like ants are biting all over my body. I'm really worried about what could be causing this. Could you give me an idea of what might be happening, what kind of treatment I should look into, and if there are any medical tests I should consider? May God bless you.

Accepted Answer
