I've been dealing with bronchial asthma since 2015, and usually, I just take my rotacapsules when it's hard to breathe. I don't get serious attacks, but there's often a wheezing sound, and breathing gets tough sometimes. Lately, though, I've noticed it's getting worse after meals. My stomach feels tight, and I've had to use my MAXIFLOW 250mg rotacapsules more frequently. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I can manage this better? Are there specific things I should be eating or avoiding to help with this issue?

I'm a bit worried about my dad and wanted to get your opinion. He takes a capsule inhaler every day, and we're wondering if it's safe for him to get the Covaxin vaccine. He doesn't have any past allergies from vaccinations. Does this sound okay?

yes he can take

I'm dealing with a really bad cough for over 40 days now. I've been using inhalers and the nebuliser, like Budesal and Foracort, and taking meds like Livotiz and some lifestyle tabs. I'm worried it's not getting better. What should I do next, and is there something else I could try?

Patient is advised ecg,sputum for AFB,microscopy and chest x-ray pa view. Also continue all the medications.

I've been having a hard time taking a deep breath for the last 8 months. I can manage normal, short breaths, but I constantly feel the need to take a deep breath, and when I do, it just doesn't feel right. There's no fever, cough, or wheezing, but sometimes when I do cough, a tiny bit of clear, colorless mucus comes out. My X-ray came back normal, but I'm worried it might be COPD. I've never smoked, but I have been around secondhand smoke now and then. I'm still able to skip rope for about 4 minutes without stopping, and my SpO2 levels average around 98. Could you help me understand what's going on?

normal according to history, stop worrying
