I've been having some breathing issues and lung pain ever since I got the covid vaccine. I tried taking medicine for bronchitis, but it didn't fully help. Then I saw a gastroenterologist and started on medication for acid reflux. After my second vaccine dose, my breathing problems got really bad again. It's been about three months of taking meds now, but I'm still struggling. I've never had covid before. What should I do next?

My mom used to take Theoasthalin SR, Romilast B10, and Foracort Forte 12400mcg for her asthma, and it worked really well for her. But now I can't find Theoasthalin SR anywhere. Do you know what a good substitute would be? It's kind of worrying since it was so effective for her.
