I'm a bit confused about how to use my Duolin inhaler and Foracart 400. Should I be using the Duolin inhaler every day, or just when I'm having a tough time breathing? Also, I've been told I need to take Foracart 400 dailywhy is that important? It would really help to understand when and how I should be using these, especially when I'm not sure if I'm having an emergency or not.

Duolin inhaler is typically used for emergency relief of acute symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath in conditions such as asthma or COPD. It is not meant for daily use. On the other hand, Foracart 400 is prescribed for daily use to help manage chronic respiratory conditions and prevent flare-ups. Always follow your doctor's instructions for proper usage.

I'm really worried about my aunt who was recently admitted to a top hospital in Mumbai because she's been having trouble breathing. They've done an ECG and a lung X-ray, and both came back normal. Her blood pressure is also fine, but the doctors still cant figure out what's causing her breathlessness. Do you have any ideas on what could be going on or what steps we should take next?

yes,visit your foe appropriate management

I'm experiencing persistent shortness of breath and this odd sensation like there's something stuck in my throat which makes me burp. I took a Covid test on June 17th, and it came back negative, so I'm wondering if it's possible for Covid not to show up on those tests? My Pulmonologist recommended an HRCT of my chest and an ECHO, both done by June 30th, and the results came back normal. I'm curious if an HRCT can sometimes miss Covid. Also, if someone has a heart blockage, would that show up as any kind of abnormality on an ECHO?

no confirm with HRCT , IMPACT SHOWS

I've been told I have a prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular marking in both of my lungs. I'm really curious about what that means for my health and what steps I should take next. Can you help explain these terms and suggest what should be done about this?

A prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular markings on both lungs can indicate inflammation or changes in the lung structures. It's important to follow up with a chest X-ray or CT scan and consult a pulmonologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions such as infections or lung disease.
