My mother-in-law has been using a Duolin inhaler and albuterol sulfate 90mcg while in the USA, but now that we're in India, I can't find albuterol here. Can she use an Asthalin inhaler 100mcg instead? I'm a bit worried about making the right switch.

I'm really struggling with a lot of symptoms like breathlessness, upper back pain, and severe chest pain. I've also been wheezing and have allergies to cold weather, dust, and changes in water. I'm feeling exhausted all the time. Walking and taking stairs are really tough, especially at night when I'm short of breath. My blood pressure seems to fluctuate a lot, and I've been having nightmares with unusual heart palpitations. I've only been using my inhaler during emergencies. Should I be using it regularly along with my GERD medication? I'm worried because these issues are affecting my life, and Im concerned about how it's impacting my 6-year-old daughter's mental health too. What would you recommend?

take inhalation for 1 month. then if you are still having problems of palpitations kindly consult a physician
