I'm currently on tiotropium, taking 1 capsule a day for inhalation, along with avessa 250 rotocaps, oxybro capsules, and glemont f capsules. I'm a bit worried and just wondering if any of these could be harmful to me or if they contain steroids. Could you give me some info about these medicines?

I'm dealing with a cold and cough that just won't go away. Every time I come into contact with dust, my nose gets all irritated, and the cold seems to flare up again. It's particularly tough during the winter; sometimes it feels hard to breathe because of the heavy cold. Should I be worried about this recurring issue, and is there something specific I can do to feel better?

I'm dealing with asthma and I'm worried because whenever I start walking, this pressure begins to build up in my throat, which makes me stop. Along with that, there's this chest tightness and throat pressure that starts to increase the more I walk. Could this be related to asthma, even though I don't have a history of smoking or other illnesses like diabetes or hypertension? I've attached the documents I'm using my inhaler as needed, which is a Firacot 200, but I'm not sure what else I should do to stop these symptoms. Any advice?
