I've been having frequent asthma attacks and it seems like my current meds, Foracort rotacaps and Levolin, aren't really doing the trick. There's no fever or sneezing, and my PFT results show moderate obstruction. I'm not a smoker either. I've already talked to a bunch of pulmonologists, but I'm still struggling. What would you recommend for better treatment?

I'm really worried about this sharp, razor blade feeling Ive been having in my lungs, especially when I cough. Its a constant pain, but at the same time, it feels inconstant, if that makes sense. And on top of that, I've been running a high fever. I haven't consulted a doctor yet, but should I be urgently concerned about these symptoms? What could be causing them?

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

I'm really worried about my wife. She had an asthma attack earlier and her usual 2 puffs of salbutamol didnt help. It got worse and she ended up taking 10 puffs in 5 minutes, which seemed to work. How often can she safely repeat that in a 12-hour period?

Yes,continue same treatment.Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with a really bad cough that's been going on for many days now. Sometimes it's hard to breathe properly, and my chest feels heavy. Occasionally, green mucus comes out when I cough. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?
