I've been dealing with COPD and I'm currently on MontekAB, Esiflo250, and Tiate inhaler. I tested negative for COVID on June 5th, but lately I've had a runny nose and sneezing a lot. After taking Sinarest three times a day, the sneezing stopped, but then I started coughing. It feels like there's something stuck in my chest and my oxygen level has dropped to 90. I'm really worried and could use some advice. What should I do next?

I'm experiencing some sleep issues, and I'm really concerned. I've noticed that I'm not getting enough sleep and keep having breathing difficulties and sometimes even stop breathing entirely while I'm asleep. I'm extremely sleepy throughout the day and often deal with headaches and vertigo. I've already seen a doctor and was recommended to use a CPAP machine, but honestly, the thought of using it scares me a bit. I'm wondering if there are any alternative treatments for sleep apnea that don't involve using a CPAP machine. Any advice would be really appreciated.

CPAP therapy is the most effective treatment for sleep apnea syndrome.If the patient is intolerant to cpap ,BIPAP,ASV,EPAP or a oral device is advised to the patient.

I recovered from COVID about three months ago and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to get the vaccine now. I've had a wheezing problem for the past decade and use Levolin Rotocaps every day. Could this be an issue with getting vaccinated? I'd really appreciate some advice.

I'm really struggling with a lot of symptoms like breathlessness, upper back pain, and severe chest pain. I've also been wheezing and have allergies to cold weather, dust, and changes in water. I'm feeling exhausted all the time. Walking and taking stairs are really tough, especially at night when I'm short of breath. My blood pressure seems to fluctuate a lot, and I've been having nightmares with unusual heart palpitations. I've only been using my inhaler during emergencies. Should I be using it regularly along with my GERD medication? I'm worried because these issues are affecting my life, and Im concerned about how it's impacting my 6-year-old daughter's mental health too. What would you recommend?

take inhalation for 1 month. then if you are still having problems of palpitations kindly consult a physician
