Question 1

I'm really worried about my health situation. I've had childhood asthma and sinusitis, and the usual things like dust and cold triggers really affect me. Usually, it wasn't a big deal, but since I hit 31, especially during the pandemic, the shortness of breath has gotten worse. I was using SEROFLO 250 now and then, but it never seemed serious until I got COVID-19 in early 2022. My breathing issues got really bad, so I used SEROFLO more often and for consecutive days.

Now Im facing something scaryevery time I use SEROFLO, I get severe dizziness, heart palpitations, sleep problems, increased shortness of breath, and theres pain in my left arm. Im super anxious if these are signs of a heart issue. Do you think the SEROFLO is causing these symptoms or could this be something else like a heart problem? What should I do?

do chest xray

Question 3

I'm dealing with a lung infection because of the climate here in Delhi. My doctor suggested taking TelekastL and Sereflo. I'm just a bit concerned about using TelekastL for a long period. Is it really safe? And should I be reconsidering living in Delhi if this is causing health issues? I'd really appreciate some insight into this.

Accepted Answer

Telekast-L (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use under medical supervision, but it may not address the root cause of a recurring lung infection. If Delhi's air quality consistently worsens your health, it may be worth considering relocating to a cleaner environment for long-term well-being.

I've been treated for TB for two months now. I've started smoking and masturbating again, and I'm worried if these habits could have any negative impact on my treatment. Should I be concerned about this affecting my recovery?

Patient is advised same treatment for another 4 months.
