Question 1

I'm a 30-year-old guy and I've been smoking for a while, up to 3 packs a day for 21 years. I recently had a chest CT scan and the results mentioned something about "patchy air trapping bilaterally." I'm trying to understand what that actually means and if its related to my smoking. Should I be worried about this? Can you help explain it to me?

in alveoli the air trapping would have happened, it is due to high sputum production.

I'm currently using an Asthalin inhaler for my asthma, but I'm wondering if there's a better alternative out there. I really want to manage my asthma more effectively. Do you know of any inhalers that might work better or offer improved management?

Accepted Answer

Only asthalin is used only in a very mild form of asthma. If the asthma is not controlled on asthalin only, you may have to use other inhalers. It is best that you show a chest physician who can examine and prescribe you appropriate inhaler.
