I've been dealing with COPD and I'm also having this annoying post-nasal drip with a nonstop runny nose whenever I eat. At night, my throat gets all clogged up with phlegm, which makes it hard to sleep. I'm taking Glevo 500 daily and nebulizing with Duolin and Budecort every morning, plus just Duolin again at night. Montair LC every other day seems to help a bit. Do you think a nose drop like ipratropium bromide could help with these issues, or is there something else you'd recommend? The throat and nasal issues, along with slight wheezing or a rattling sound sometimes, are really bothering me. Any advice?

I'm a 53-year-old male and have been dealing with allergic asthma for quite some time now. I've been relying on Montac LC, which works well for me, but it's become quite expensive, nearly twice the price over the past year. Plus, nasal sprays and inhalers don't seem to help much, especially with the constant skin itching and sneezing. Is there an alternative tablet or medicine you could suggest?

I'm really worried about my aunt - she's been having trouble breathing, and her reports show she has Severe Pulmonary Hypertension. Weve seen a pulmonologist, but they haven't been able to find a solution. We've been following a cardiologist's advice and started her on Bosentas 62.5mg for the past six months, but it seems like her condition is getting worse. Another cardiologist warned us that Bosentas could be harmful to her liver, but we didnt stop it. Now, she can't even walk from her bedroom to the living room without struggling. I'm looking for advice on whether there's any treatment or medication from Homeopathy, Allopathic, or Ayurveda that might help her. Can you offer any guidance?
