I'm a bit worried about using an inhaler. If someone uses it once or occasionally, do they end up needing it regularly? I've never used an inhaler before. Usually, my cough stops after I have some tea or take certain medicines, but recently those aren't working. Would it be a good idea to start using an inhaler, or is there a chance it could make my body depend on it?

View allI'm experiencing some chest congestion and it's making it hard for me to breathe properly. I don't have a cold, cough, or any fever, but I find myself having to take deep breaths and sometimes even need to open my mouth to get a good breath in. What could be going on here? Any ideas or suggestions?

Namaste, I'm 28 and have had chronic asthma since birth. I usually rely on the Foracort 200mg inhaler, taking one puff every couple of days, and it mostly keeps things in check. Sometimes, I used to take Levolin 10mg if I felt the need. Now, with the COVID-19 vaccinations available like Covishield, Covaxin, or Sputnik, Im wondering if its safe for me to take any of them given my condition and the medication Im on. Is continuing with my inhaler after vaccination okay? Also, should I be worried about possible allergic reactions like wheezing or chest congestion similar to an asthma attack post-vaccination? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.
Patient is advised covishield vaccination intramuscular, 3 doses as complete immunization to the patient. Side-efects like rash,fever,nausea,headache and allergic reactions are fewer side-effects.

I'm a 55-year-old woman and my SPO2 level is usually above 95, but I've been having these on-and-off episodes of breathlessness. It's a bit unsettling. I even got a chest X-ray, and it came back normal. Should I be concerned about this?
