Question

I've been struggling with a cough and sometimes it feels really hard to breathe. I'm taking some tablets currently, but I'm unsure if they're helping. Could you advise on which type of doctor I should consult for this issue?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?

I'm really struggling with cold and cough that's been going on for quite some time now, and I found out it's actually allergic asthma. I'm thinking about getting a PFT test done. What do you think? Would that help in understanding my condition better?

Question

I'm really worried about my grandfather. He's 75, and with his COPD and asthma, his breathing has become pretty challenging. There are these sounds when he breathes, and he seems to breathe from his stomach. Even just a little movement seems to make his breathing worse. It's like he can't be without oxygen at all now. His oxygen level is at 75, and carbon dioxide is 50. Could you help me understand what stage he's in?
