Question 1

I'm really struggling with my asthma and sinus issues. My dad has asthma too, so it seems like it's something we're both dealing with. I've been on medication prescribed by my doctor for the last 3 years, like budamate 400 nasal spray and montair 10, but they haven't been helping much. Recently, I went to CMC Vellore, and my doctor there suggested I try budecort 200, fexinase, and lukotas for six months. But despite trying all this, I still get fevers and colds quite frequently, and I recently had a bout of influenza. Now, I'm having chest pain, and it's making breathing feel really heavy. It's like my problem is only getting worse, especially when the weather changes. I avoid cold things, but it doesn't seem to help much. I'm just really curious about whether asthma is ever totally curable because it seems to just keep coming back. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my mom. She has this severe dry cough that gets worse whenever the weather changes, and we've been trying to manage it with monocortil 6 mg for a couple of months. Its been helpful, but Im concerned because it seems like her diabetes is getting worse. Could this be related to the medication? I'm not sure what to doshould we continue with the monocortil or try something else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Question 3

I just got my spirometry results back and I'm a bit confused. It shows that my FEV1 is 33 and my FVC is 41, but then it says my FEV1FVC is 70. I'm trying to understand what it means to have low FEV1 and FVC but a high FEV1FVC ratio. Is this something I should be worried about?
