I'm having trouble breathing sometimes, and it's really hard to inhale. I start feeling suffocated, and when I try to breathe through my mouth, I end up with a severe headache and feel dizzy. There are times when I even feel sort of partially paralyzed. What's going on with me?

I've had bronchial asthma for the past 15 years and use an inhaler regularly. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Montair 10 for the rest of my life. Are there any side effects if I keep taking it long-term? Could you give me some advice on this?

I'm a 29-year-old woman and I've just been diagnosed with mild obstructive airway disease. The report mentions airway obstruction without significant post bronchodilator reversibility. How serious is this, and is it related to COPD?
