My mom's 53 and she's got diabetes and this dust allergy thing going on. She randomly got short of breath today and couldn't talk, which panicked us a bit. She usually gets mild asthma when she's near dust, but today it hit out of nowhere with no dust around. After taking Asthalin, she felt better. I'm curious about what could've triggered this sudden asthma attack without being around dust, and is it okay for her to use Asthalin every day?

View allI'm a bit concerned about this shortness of breath I keep experiencing, especially after 3 pm nearly every day. I find myself needing to take deep breaths or breathe through my mouth, and sometimes my chest hurts because of it. I've been dealing with this off and on since 2014, but it wasn't as frequent back then, and my doctor said I was fine. Now it's happening daily, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Is there something specific that could be causing this? I drink water regularly and try to stay healthy, so it's puzzling why this keeps occurring.
The recurring shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and need for deep breathing or mouth breathing, especially after 3 pm daily, may indicate underlying conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anxiety, or cardiac issues, and warrants a thorough medical evaluation, including pulmonary function tests, echocardiogram, and blood work, to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing, especially when I'm climbing stairs. I've been using my inhaler, and I've also had the Prevenar 13 vaccination back in 2018 and the FLUQUADRI 0.5ml booster in July 2019. My doctor has mentioned I need another vaccination for this season, especially with the monsoon coming. Could you let me know if the FLUQUADRI 2020-21 vaccine is available in Electronic City, Bangalore? Any insights would be really helpful.

I'm a bit confused about how doctors handle a simple common cold. If someone doesn't have any symptoms and hasn't had a chest X-ray, do pulmonologists still do a hands-on assessment of the lungs and thorax without a stethoscope? I'm just curious about what they look for and if that's a normal practice or not.
for lung assesment we need stethescope
