So, all my lung and chest reports came back normal, but I'm still experiencing shortness of breath. Could there be any reason for this? I had asymptomatic COVID, but it's been a while since I recovered. Why might this be happening?

I'm having some issues with wheezing here in Bangalore. My doctor suggested I take Mon Deslor at night to help. But I'm wondering, if during the day I start feeling uncomfortable because of the wheezing, can I take another dose of Mon Deslor to help with that? I'm also using a puff, so is it okay to combine all this? Just trying to manage this wheezing better.

Mon Deslor is typically taken as prescribed, usually once daily. If you're experiencing wheezing during the day, its better to rely on your prescribed inhaler (puff) for quick relief rather than taking an extra dose of Mon Deslor. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.

I'm supposed to be going to Dubai for work, but my medical report showed a calcification in the area near my right hilum during the chest X-ray. I'm really worried because if I'm deemed medically unfit, I can't take the job. I'm not having any chest pain at all, but I do smoke, so could this be from my smoking habit? How can I get rid of this calcification quickly? Would this affect my chances for the job in Dubai?
