I've been taking asthalin pills and accidentally took 4mg instead of 2mg for 35 days. Now I'm having some weird symptoms like a fast heartbeat and shivering. I've switched to using an inhaler for 34 days but those symptoms haven't gone away. I keep waking up suddenly when I'm about to fall asleep, and it's freaking me out a bit. Any advice on how I can deal with these side effects?

I'm wondering why I sometimes have a whistling sound when I breathe and why people say I breathe heavily. I've always struggled to control my breathing, even during yoga, and I get out of breath when climbing stairs. People often say it's because I'm overweight, but even when I wasn't, I still had these breathing issues. Could there be another reason for this?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .

I'm currently on tuberculosis treatment and taking Rcinex and Pyzina 1750. At night, I take Folfit. I'm wondering if it's okay to switch Folfit to FDson MP Forte since I've noticed they have the same chemical makeup. Can you let me know if that's a safe switch?
