I'm a bit worried about my breathing sometimes. I had a stent implant about 3 years back and I've noticed that when I catch a cold or have a cough, it becomes hard to breathe. My doctor gave me a few medicationsBudecort 200, Esiflo 250, Tiova, and Leveloinbut I usually just take Budecort 200 whenever I feel it's needed. Is this okay to do, or should I be taking all the prescribed medications regularly?

View allI'm planning a trip to the Gulf, and I just got my chest X-ray report back. It mentions something about prominent broncho vascular markings. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm concerned about whether it could cause any issues in my medical consultation or during my trip. Is this something serious? Can it be treated or managed somehow?

I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to use my rescue inhalers. I usually use Ventolin when my asthma acts up, but switch to Bricanyl when it's really bad since it has a higher dose. But then I get these side effects like a sore, irritated throat and coughing. I've tried using fewer puffs, but that doesn't seem to help with the asthma symptoms. Any advice on how to manage this better?
