Question

I've been having this problem lately where I'm really short of breath, sort of like when I had asthma a few years ago. But it's weird because I don't have a cough or anything else with it. It's starting to worry me a bit. Do you think it could be the asthma coming back, or could it be something else? What should I do about it?

Question

I'm dealing with bronchial asthma and have been using Foracort 400 daily. I'm worried though, are there any potential problems or side effects from using it every day? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

Question

I've been dealing with asthma and recently had a chest infection for which I was prescribed prednisone and antibiotics. After finishing the course, I got a sinus infection and tried to manage it without antibiotics, but now I'm back on them. My oxygen levels are at 93, and I've been relying on Ventolin and Symbicort, even increasing the Symbicort when needed. The doctor mentioned there were no signs of issues in my lungs, but I'm still feeling light-headed and short of breath. Should I be worried about this?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been a welder for years, and lately, he's been dealing with a cough and black phlegm for about two weeks now. We got him tested for COVID and it's negative, thank goodness, but I'm starting to wonder if these symptoms might be linked to his work. Could it be some kind of occupational respiratory disorder? What should we do next?
