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?

I'm in a bit of a situation and could use your advice. My dad's been dealing with this interstitial-looking disease and he's currently on medication for it. The doctor said we should consider getting an oxygen concentrator for him. I want to make sure I choose the right equipment and find a reliable dealer. Could you suggest any specific models or places where I could purchase one?

I'm wondering if it's safe to use a nebulizer at home, especially with the ongoing COVID situation making hospital visits risky. Could you recommend a good brand and let me know what medication should be used with it?

Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a cough for the past 23 months. I've seen a few doctors, but nothing seems to be improving. It's really frustrating. Can you tell me what might be going on or suggest what I should try next?
