I'm experiencing this issue where my breathing feels low during the night, even though all my tests like PFT, echo, and TMT are normal. I live in a hilly area, and I'm wondering if that's affecting my oxygen levels at night. Could moving to a flatter area help with getting more oxygen? Is there a particular reason that might justify relocating?

I've been having a tough time with wheezing, chest congestion, and breathing issues whenever the weather changes or I'm around dust. I'm allergic to dust and pollution, and it's really becoming a problem. Sometimes, I have to rely on my inhaler, but I'm trying to find a way to live a healthier life without having to use it so much. Any advice on how I can manage this better and reduce my inhaler use?

I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.

I've been dealing with asthma for a couple of years now, and I've been on telekast, Acebrophylline, and montelukast for about a year. Lately, Ive been experiencing this burning sensation in my chest and sometimes I feel anxious or confused, and I've been having some really vivid bad dreams. I'm starting to think it might be the montelukast causing these issues. Are there other medications I could try for my allergies?
