I'm a bit worried because I've had pleural effusion in my right lung and got it tapped. I've been on treatment for it since May, starting with AKT4 for the first two months and then switching to AKT2 for the next four. It's been four months now, but I still feel a sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, I haven't lost any weight; in fact, I've gained 5 kg since May and weigh 61 kg now. Any advice on what might be going on?

View allI'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?

I'm noticing that my heart rate has been climbing up to 95 over the past 23 days. Could my allergic bronchitis be playing a part in this? I'm really concerned and would love some insight on what might be causing this.
Increasing heart rate can be caused by various reasons, especially in individuals with allergic bronchitis. The combination of allergic bronchitis and an elevated heart rate could be due to increased inflammation and stress on the body. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking **Montelukast** (Singulair) 10mg once daily for allergic bronchitis. Additionally, you can take **Propranolol** (Inderal) 10-20mg as needed to help lower your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
