I'm wondering if it's safe for heart patients who don't have asthma but had bronchitis just once to use inhaled corticosteroids regularly. Could this be harmful over time? I've heard something about it possibly being connected to glaucoma, and it's got me a bit worried. What do you think?

We've tried all sorts of treatments, both allopathy and homeopathy, but nothing's really helping. It's pretty concerning. What should we do?
