I've been dealing with wheezing for 25 years, initially using an Asthalin inhaler and now Foracart 400 rotacaps. I don't take any oral medicines for it. The past couple of weeks, I've started feeling chest tightness, breathlessness, and fatigue. I've also had mild hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes for 15 years. For my BP, I take Teleact AM 40 at night, and for diabetes, I take Amaryl 1 mg twice a day. My diabetes seems to be under control, but I'm worried about what might be causing these new symptoms. Could it be related to my wheezing or COPD, or maybe my high BP, CAD, or diabetes? What do you think?

Question

I'm feeling feverish for the past 10 days, and it's been really worrying me. Back on May 17th, I had a bad case of breathlessness, so I saw a pulmonologist who recommended some tests. My IGE test result was 528 and the absolute eosinophils count was 600. He also had me do a PFT and then prescribed Spirodin M and Budetrol400 inhaler. What's puzzling is this constant feverish feeling, though I don't have any body pain, headache, or breathing problemsno symptoms like corona, thankfully. It's mostly after eating, but it doesnt seem connected to any specific food. Do you think there's any other test I should do, or should I go visit another doctor? Would love any advice you might have.

Question

Hey, I've got a mild cough and was wondering if I can use Pulmoclear and Moto L tablets for it during this whole COVID-19 situation? Is medication really necessary, or can I just wait it out? Would love some guidance here.

Question

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 67 and was diagnosed with TB after having pleural effusion in his right lung. He's been prescribed R cinex 600 once a day, pyrazinamide 750 two tablets at once daily, and combutol 1000 once daily by his pulmonologist. I'm just concerned about him taking both of those pyrazinamide tablets at the same time, like the doctor said, especially since he weighs 68 kg. Does this sound right to you?
