I've been dealing with a cough that I had a couple of months ago, and while it seems to be gone now, I'm still having trouble with persistent mucus. Recently, I've started feeling some chest tightness and alternating mild to moderate pain. Just a few days ago, my throat was also bothering me. I'm really concerned about what's causing all these symptoms, especially during this lockdown. Any advice on what I should do?

I'm a bit worried because my ultrasound shows there's fluid in my lungs indicating a chest infection, but my blood report came back normal. Also, last week my Hba1c level was reported at 7.1. What could this mean for my overall health, and should I be concerned about these results in combination?

go for diabetologist and continue further

I've been experiencing this weird feeling during intense exercise, like when I'm cycling over 20km or running more than 5km. It feels like my lungs are filling up with some fluid, and I have trouble breathing. But if I take a break, it all clears up. Should I be worried about this? Is there something I should be doing differently?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit confused about the Foracort 400 mdi. Once I've started taking it, do I need to keep using it continuously? I'm not really clear on how long I'm supposed to stick with this dosage. Can you help explain how I should be managing it?

Foracort 400 MDI is typically used for managing asthma or COPD symptoms. If your doctor has prescribed it, it's important to follow the prescribed frequency, which could be one or more doses per day depending on the condition. If you're unsure about the timing or dosage, I recommend consulting your doctor to clarify the specific schedule based on your symptoms.
