I've been dealing with bronchial asthma for a few days now, and I've realized that being around a lot of dust and my pet, who's shedding more than usual, might be making it worse. I've been using budamate 200 transcaps for a while and taking Montiar LC for my allergies. Just bought some piriton syrup and broncocin 200SR with an old prescription and started them last night, but I'm not noticing much improvement. I'm also anxious, which isn't helping my breathing problems. Could you suggest if I should switch inhalers or recommend an antibiotic that might help? Looking forward to your advice.

I've been told that I breathe heavily while I'm sleeping, and it seems like my oxygen levels and pulse rate drop during those times. Specifically, my oxygen saturation goes from 99 to 91, and my pulse rate drops from 88 to 68. Eventually, they both go back to normal, which is 88 for my pulse and 99 for oxygen saturation. This pattern happens multiple times throughout the night. Could you help me understand what might be going on with these symptoms?
