Question 1

I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

Accepted Answer

Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.

Question 2

I'm curious and a bit worried about something that's been happening to me recently. I've been dealing with GERD for about four years and have been on medication for it. But over the last three months, I've been experiencing some breathing issues and chest tightness while walking and talking. It's frustrating because I feel the need to take deep, relaxing breaths, but I can't seem to get a full breath or feel any relief from trying. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

severe gastritis

Question 3

I'm really worried about my recent chest x-ray results. It showed increased bronchovascular markings in the right basal region, and I'm not sure what that means. The report also mentioned the cardiac shadow appears normal but the hilar shadows are prominent, and the right cardiophrenic angle is hazy. The bony cage is normal and the trachea is central, but what's concerning me is the right basal bronchovascular prominence. Could you explain what all this might mean for my health? I'm not really familiar with these terms and would appreciate some clarity.

need report to comment

I'm taking 4 mg of asthalin regularly and for the past three days, I've been experiencing a faster heart rate and some shivering. It's also been really weird that when I try to sleep, I suddenly wake up in shock with an increased heart rate. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

That could be due to side effects of asthalin,need to change the drug,visit physician for the same
