I'm worried about having been on montek lc for my asthma for the past 5 years. Is it safe to use it for so long, and what steps can I take to stop relying on it?

Please take a look at my X-ray and ultrasound reports. I've had a cough for 25 days now, with episodes of coughing so hard that I vomit, which has happened about 90 times. The coughing only happens once or twice a day, but it can go on for around 35 minutes each time. I also have mild to moderate pain in my abdomen and chest. My weight has dropped from 78 to 65 over the past three months. Initially, I was told I had malaria, but the test was positive one day and negative the next, so I'm not sure about that. What do you think could be causing the cough and vomiting?

might be lung infection, take syrup ascoril twice a day for 1 week

Lately, I've had anxiety attacks and occasional breathing problems. I've done a crona igmrapid test which came back negative, and other tests like cbclftkftlipid. My hemoglobin is 12.6, and triglycerides are at 199. Everything seems normal, but I'm concerned about how to increase my spo2 levels. Can you please help me with this?

I'm a 26-year-old from Srinagar dealing with obstructive sleep apnea for the past five years. I was negligent at first and didn't take the condition seriously, but when things worsened, I started using a CPAP machine, which has helped. The issue is that I often feel embarrassed when traveling because I have to bring the machine with me. I'm wondering, is CPAP the only treatment option available? Can sleep apnea be reversed? I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide.
