My mom has allergic bronchitis, and I'm really worried about how this might impact her daily life and overall health. With proper treatment, can she expect to live a normal life? Will this condition shorten her lifespan? I hope this isn't something that's directly life-threatening.

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've been a bit worried lately. I tested positive for COVID on May 2, 2021, and thankfully, it was a mild case with my oxygen levels staying normal. But now, two months later, I'm noticing something odd. When I'm just sitting around, my oxygen level is usually at 97 or 96, which is okay, I guess. But when I start moving around, like climbing stairs or even just taking a walk, it drops to 92 or 93. I'm wondering why this happens? Should I be concerned?

I'm currently using esiflo 500 transcaps for my asthma, but it doesn't seem to be working well for me. Can you suggest a better inhaler or any alternatives that might be more effective? I'm really looking for something that can provide better relief.

I would advise you to visit a pulmonologist so that you can be evaluated and undergo necessary investigations and get treated accordingly.
