Question 1

I'm really concerned about this issue I've been having. A couple of years ago, I was in a room with some agarbati burning, and after about an hour, I started having chest pain and an itchy nose, followed by shortness of breath. It took me a few days to recover from that, and ever since, I've noticed that I get the same symptoms if I'm around any smoke, like from agarbati or mosquito repellents. I saw a pulmonologist back then, and he gave me some meds that seemed to help over time, but he never said it was asthma. I'm wondering now if I've developed asthma or if these are just triggers since I feel fine otherwise. I'm a bit anxious because I'm about to take a flight soon, and I'm not sure how to handle it if something similar happens at such a high altitude. Could you give me any advice or insights on what I might be dealing with and how to prepare for the flight?

Question 2

I'm a 20-year-old girl dealing with asthma, and every time I use my Asthalin inhaler, it gives me tremors and a headache. I'm really concerned about these side effects. Could switching to a Ventolin inhaler help prevent them?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can consider switching to Ventolin (salbutamol) inhaler, as it is similar to Asthalin, but some people may tolerate it better, however, since you're experiencing tremors and headaches, consult your doctor before making the switch to discuss potential alternatives, adjusting dosages, or adding medications to minimize side effects.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

I'm having some trouble when I talk, like I can't catch my breath, and my chest feels really stiff. It's making me feel weak and drained, and honestly, I just don't feel like talking because of it. What's going on? Is this something I should be worried about?

Patient is advised x-ray chest and sputum for AFB and microscopy.
