I was just diagnosed with asthma, and I'm a bit worried. Is this something that could be temporary? I'm the only one in my family with it, and I never smoke. I used to do a lot of exercise outside in the cold mornings before, could that be why I'm experiencing this?

I've been dealing with ongoing health issues, starting with demotomiyositis back in 2005 which required steroids like dexcona. These treatments led to complications, including a lung infection, for which I had to undergo several DOTS courses in 2012, 2014, and an 18-month course that wrapped up in April 2017. Recently, I unexpectedly began coughing up blood right around Diwali and had to be hospitalized twice in just one month. This happened again quite recently with more blood from the mouth. I'm really worried about what's going on and wondering if this bleeding might be something I shouldn't worry about. What kind of treatment should I be looking at for this? Are the medications I'm getting in Kota sufficient, or should I be considering a specialist in AIIMS for a more thorough evaluation?

The presence of blood from the mouth is not normal and should be taken seriously, as it could indicate a serious underlying condition. Immediate medical evaluation is necessary to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. It is advisable to seek a second opinion at a specialized hospital like AIIMS for a comprehensive assessment, especially if the current treatment in Kota isn't providing adequate relief.

I'm really concerned because I've been feeling super tired all the time, and it's been getting harder to breathe properly. It feels like my body just isn't getting enough air, and it leaves me feeling worn out. What could be causing this? Could it be related to some kind of illness or underlying health issue? I'm really curious about what might be going on and would love to understand more.

Fatigue, difficulty breathing, and tiredness can be caused by several factors, such as respiratory conditions like asthma or bronchitis, heart issues, anemia, or even stress and anxiety. Its important to assess underlying health conditions and seek a doctors evaluation to pinpoint the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.
