I'm dealing with wheezing and got this dust allergy thing going on too. My PFT results came back saying there's some restrictive airways action happening. I'm using Maxiflo 250mg rotocaps inhalers, but I still get a bit of wheezing sometimes. Does that sound like I need to switch up my meds, or is this normal?

the medication is okay
