Ive been having this weird shortness of breath lately, and its causing me to yawn a lot. I do feel a bit better after yawning, but its been going on for a really long time. I think its related to my allergies, probably from dust and pollution. Any advice on what I can do to get some relief?

I'm having trouble with breathing and have been using Seroflo but recently switched to Foromonide Rotocap. Can you help me understand how these two differ? I'm curious if there are specific advantages or anything important I should know about using Formonide compared to Seroflo.

Seroflo (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) and Formonide (Formoterol + Budesonide) are both combination inhalers that help manage asthma and COPD symptoms. They both contain a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) and a corticosteroid. Formonide might act faster due to the Formoterol but both medications provide long-term relief when used regularly

I've been taking the pill Septilin once a day for the past year since I got diagnosed with a respiratory allergy. I usually experience coughing, chest pressure, and a whistling sound when breathing at night. I'm also on an anxiety pill, Vetodep 20, once a day. Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine, and if so, what precautions should I be aware of?

donot take covid vaccine if you are having active symptoms of allergy

I'm really confused about something and could really use some clarity. Is pulmonary Koch's the same as tuberculosis in the lungs? And if they're different, do they require the same kind of treatment as tuberculosis? Also, is this pulmonary Koch's thing contagious?

Yes, pulmonary Koch's is another term for tuberculosis (TB) in the lungs. It requires similar treatment, usually involving a combination of antibiotics over several months. TB is contagious, so it's important to follow precautions to prevent spreading it to others.
