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?

Hey, so I kinda messed up my TB meds schedule. I was late by 12 hours twice. First time, I missed my morning dose and ended up taking it at night. Then, the next time, I missed the night dose and took it in the morning. But I've been consistent since, like if I took the missed dose at night, I continued the rest of the doses at night. Is this a problem, or am I still on the right track?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.

I'm 21 and I've noticed that my right hilar shadow is more prominent, and there are lymph nodes involved. I don't have a cough or fever, but I sometimes feel a bit breathless, which I think might be from worrying too much. Is this something serious, or is it normal? Should I be seeing a doctor about it?

Tab Azithromycin 500mg.orally,daily,once daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I've just taken 4 puffs from my Asthalin inhaler and 2 Theoasthalin tablets. Is that too much? Could an overdose like this actually harm my airways? I'm really worried about potential side effects.
