I've been dealing with asthma for over 8 years now and my doctor prescribed me a budesonide formoterol inhaler. Things have improved a bit, but I still have to use it, especially in winter. I just got over COVID about two weeks ago, but I've been noticing that if I sleep with the fan on high and no blanket, I get breathing issues because of the cold. This even happens during the summer. I always need a blanket when I sleep. Last night, around 3am, I had a breathing problem and tightness in my chest. My oxygen level was 89, but it went back above 93 after I turned off the fan and used a blanket. During the day, my oxygen is above 95. I'm worried because my oxygen levels drop at night. I've had this issue since I was a child, but back then, I didnt have a way to monitor my SpO2. Is this normal in asthma?

View allI was just diagnosed with asthma, and I'm a bit worried. Is this something that could be temporary? I'm the only one in my family with it, and I never smoke. I used to do a lot of exercise outside in the cold mornings before, could that be why I'm experiencing this?
Asthma is a chronic airway disease. Yes ,in winter season the asthma gets aggrevated.

Waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking. Swollen lymph nodes can have various causes, ranging from benign to serious. Common causes include infections, allergic reactions, or inflammation. In many cases, swollen lymph nodes resolve on their own. Try to manage your anxiety by: - Practicing relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation) - Staying occupied with daily activities - Avoiding excessive worry or speculation Your GP will discuss the test results and provide guidance on the next steps.
