I'm a bit stressed out because I've been managing my bronchial asthma for 20 years using a regular puff of Forair 250 mg from Novacart, and it's worked really well for me. But I just found out they've stopped making it, and I'm starting to feel the symptoms coming back. Do you know of any alternatives I can try?

I'm in my 7th month of yb treatment, and I've had some allergy issues. My doctor gave me budamate with lupihalet, but ever since I started them, my breathing feels worse. Earlier, breathing wasn't much of a problem, and I had foracort inhalet at home, but I never really needed to use it. I'm also on Rcinex 600 for my TB. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm a 27-year-old female and I've been frequently checking my SpO2 levels because of shortness of breath, which I've had since August. Most times, it reads between 96-98, but sometimes it dips to 93 for a second and then goes back to 95 or 97. Is this something normal? I'm also getting sweaty and don't have a fever or anything, but I am kind of worried. Can you help me understand if these are typical readings and if I should be concerned about these symptoms?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I'm just wondering if the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler could be harmful because I know it's a steroid. Is it as risky as other steroids? I'm also concerned about whether using it could lead to something like black fungus. I used it for about five days when I was recovering from COVID. Can you help me understand the possible side effects?

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
