From limited research done, coffee consumption was associated with some positive effects on the respiratory system. Few small studies have shown coffee was associated with reduction of asthma and coffee with natural honey was effective for persistent post-infectious cough. There was however limited available evidence to establish its effects.

I'm concerned about my mom's health. She's been diagnosed with bronchitis and the doctor has prescribed her budecort 200 rotocap capsules.

Question

My dad's 66 and dealing with some BP issues like today, it's at 170100. He's had asthma for a couple of years and some sleep issues, plus he gets shortness of breath when sleeping. He's been using a CPAP machine for about a year now, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. We started him on some medications like Sartel 40, Cinod 10, Rousuvas, Forocot, and Montair, which helped bring his BP to around 13080 or 14090 for a bit. But now, it's gone back up even after adjusting his meds. He's taking Sartel 80 and Ivabard in the morning and evening, and Rousvas at night. The BP readings improve by lunchtime, but soon after taking his meds, he feels dizzy, uncomfortable, and his BP goes up. He seems okay with his night dosage, though, and the CPAP reports show his AHI count is fine, but his sleep quality isn't great. He keeps coughing with the CPAP, and it doesn't seem like he's getting restful sleep. Could this be because of asthma or the dry air from the CPAP? What might be going on, and what can we do to manage his BP and improve his sleep?
