I've been dealing with asthma for quite a while now, and it's been pretty rough. Right now, I'm using the Seroflo 250 inhaler once a day and Duolin when I really need it. I also had sinus surgery a couple of years ago, but it kind of feels like my lungs are still really weak. I'm dealing with cold and cough pretty much all the time, and if I don't take Montair LC every day, things get worse. I'm a 30-year-old guy, around 75 kg. I'm trying to avoid steroids, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Any advice on treatments or ways to manage this better?

I'm feeling a bit anxious about my oxygen levels. After having COVID, I've noticed they fluctuate quite a bit. For example, when I check with a pulse oximeter, it sometimes shows 92 on one finger and 97 on another. What could be causing such a difference? Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal for oxygen levels to act like this after recovering from COVID?

Thats normal not related to COVID,just rub your finger re check it again

I'm a smoker and have been feeling pain in my lungs, plus I've got this burning sensation in my stomach. I'm also dealing with gastric and digestive issues. Can you tell me what might be going on or what tests I could get to check my lungs' health? I've been getting this itchy feeling on my chest, and my left shoulder and arm are aching. I'm really looking for some advice on how to deal with these problems and any precautions I should be taking for my lungs. Would appreciate any help.

take chest xray and pulmonary function tests

Is there a specific age when it's not safe to have an HRCT chest scan? I'm really curious because I read somewhere that certain age groups might face risks. Could you shed some light on this?
