My mom was diagnosed with COPD and dilated RARVPA about three months ago. She tested positive for COVID last week but has since recovered. However, her oxygen levels sometimes drop to 80, especially when she's sleeping. I'm really worried about how serious this might be. Can you tell me more about what foods she should avoid and what she should be eating instead?

Is there actually a long-term cure for asthma? I'm dealing with really uncomfortable chest tightness and shortness of breath. My doctor suggested using the Budetrol 200 Rotacap inhaler for a couple of months, and it helps, but if I skip it for a day or two, all my symptoms just come rushing back. It's frustrating, and I'm worried about relying on the inhaler indefinitely. What should I do? Any advice on this would be really appreciated.

Continue budetrol 200 rotacaps sos for breathing difficulty.

My grandma is having serious trouble breathing, and we're really worried. The doctor told us her lungs are damaged and weak, likely because she had a problem with kidney tuberculosis which spread. We've been going back and forth to the hospital multiple times this year for this issue. Each time, she's been given medications and nebuliser treatments, and she even had oxygen therapy just 10 days ago. But the breathing issues have started again today. Unfortunately, the doctor we're seeing isn't very open or clear with us about what's going on and what steps to take next. Who should we consult for a better diagnosis and treatment plan? We're desperate for some guidance here.

It seems your grandmother is suffering from several health issues. I will have to look into her old history and records and then can give u an opinion

I've been on tuberculosis medication for several months, and my doctor has me doing liver function tests and liver enzymes are normal. Is it alright if I have one beer a month?

Alcohol cessation is advised to the patient.
