I'm dealing with pleural effusion and some thickening of the pleura. I've been on FDC medication for pulmonary Koch's for about 14 months now. I'm worried because it's affecting my medical test for a job abroad. What can I do in this situation, and is there a way to manage or improve the test results despite my condition?

I'm having some trouble with my breathing latelyit feels like deep breaths are kinda stressing me out. And it gets worse when I'm in an air-conditioned space; it feels like I'm suffocating after just a few minutes. Do you have any idea what might be going on or any suggestions for what I should do?

That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm dealing with bronchitis asthma and I'm on Seroflo 250 and Montek FX. I also have NASH and take Bilypsa, Adesam 400, and Evion 400 for it. But every time I take Evion, I start having trouble breathing and it seems like it makes my asthma worse. Is there any link between Evion 400 and asthma? Why could this be happening?

you might be allergic to evion 400, better avoid taking it
