I'm worried because when I inhale, it feels like my veins get stuck in my ribs in the back and on my chest. The doctor said this should help with my breathing problem, but my hands are still shaking. What could be causing this? Do you have any advice?

I've been dealing with chronic asthma for about 20 years now, and for the past decade, formonide 200 Novocart has been my go-to medication. Lately, I've been having trouble finding it in stores. Could you recommend an equivalent medicine I could switch to? I'm really concerned about managing my symptoms effectively.

I've been checking my symptoms online, and it pointed to cough variant asthma. All the symptoms seem to match, and I already know I have asthma since I use an inhaler. It's the Ventolin Albuterol one, but I feel like I'm using it too much because I constantly need to breathe better. Do you think this issue will eventually go away, or should I think about going to the hospital?

I've been told to take monticope tablets for a month, and I've noticed I'm about 50% better now. But the doctor said to stop after one month, even though my pharmacist suggested continuing for another month for better results. I'm a bit confused about what to do should I stick to my doctors advice or follow the pharmacist's recommendation? Id really appreciate your thoughts on this.
