I'm feeling kind of worried because I've been experiencing some heavy breathing on and off for a few days now. I have an allergy and I'm already taking montelukast tablets and using my inhaler with 250mg three times a day. The weird thing is, I don't have any trouble when I'm walking or jogging, and my oxygen levels are good at 98%. Could you help me understand what's going on?
