Sometimes in the last two days, I've been experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest. I dont have any other symptoms. I was diagnosed with a bronchitis tendency a few years ago. After having COVID back in April 2021, I got a pulmonary analysis, and that was normal. With COVID still a concern, it's tough to meet a doctor face-to-face. Do you think it's safe for me to take Aerocort and Asthaline 4mg twice a day for 5 days? Any other advice you can share?

View allI'm really concerned about this cold and cough that keeps coming back, especially with breathing problems at night and in the early morning for the past three weeks. I saw a general physician and the medicine worked for a week, but the breathing issue starts up again as soon as I stop taking it. What should I do about this?
It sounds like you may have asthma or an allergic airway condition triggered by cold or night-time air. I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation, including spirometry. Continuing appropriate long-term treatment, like inhalers, may help prevent recurrence.

I'm worried because it feels like I'm not breathing well enough. I have to take a really deep breath every 10 seconds or so, and it's messing with my sleep. This has been going on for about 4 years now. I did see a pulmonologist and had a PFT test done, which came out fine, but I'm still having issues. I've tried different medications, including Deriphyllin, with no success. Any advice on what to do next?
Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with some bothersome allergies from dust and smoke, and it's making it tough to breathe. I'm getting the feeling these might be signs of asthma. Could you help me out with this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing asthma symptoms due to your allergies. To help with your breathing difficulties, I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to provide immediate relief. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from a maintenance inhaler like Flovent (fluticasone) to help control your asthma symptoms in the long term. The typical dosage for adults is 2 puffs twice a day. It's important to use these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal management of your asthma symptoms.
