I'm struggling with my asthma and my doctor's advice isn't quite working for me. At first, it was mild so I was using the Duolin 2.5 and Budecort 0.5mg, but things have gotten worse lately. Now, I'm finding myself relying on the nebulizer nearly every day, and it's just so time-consuming. I'm really hoping you can suggest some rotahaler capsule options to try instead. Plus, I'm worried about how severe my asthma has becomeare there any remedies or treatments that might help improve my situation?

I'm sharing my chest X-ray results from after I had COVID. Can you let me know if everything looks alright with my lungs, and if there's a chance they'll keep getting better? I've also attached the X-ray taken during COVID, about 30 days ago, for comparison.

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with asthma and recently had a chest infection for which I was prescribed prednisone and antibiotics. After finishing the course, I got a sinus infection and tried to manage it without antibiotics, but now I'm back on them. My oxygen levels are at 93, and I've been relying on Ventolin and Symbicort, even increasing the Symbicort when needed. The doctor mentioned there were no signs of issues in my lungs, but I'm still feeling light-headed and short of breath. Should I be worried about this?

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I've been experiencing shortness of breath lately. I went to see a doctor, and they did a chest X-ray which came back clear, and the doctor also did a PFT, mentioning it wasn't too bad. But I still feel like I can't catch my breath, and it's really worrying me. I'm wondering if this could all just be in my head or if there's something else going on. What do you think?
