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 having a really hard time sleeping because every time I close my eyes, I wake up almost right away feeling like I can't breathe. This mainly happens during the day when I try to nap. I've been going to bed really late, like after 2 a.m. Could that be causing it, or is something else going on?

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this stubborn dry cough and chest pain that just won't go away. It's been sticking around since I caught a cold about four weeks ago. Sometimes it's not too bad, but other times it gets really severe. I saw an ENT who gave me some antibiotics and syrup to try for five days, but there's been no change. The doctor mentioned something about needing a blood test if things dont get better after this. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about needing further tests, or is this just a common thing after a cold?

yes do a blood test ,- complete blood count, CRP
