I'm really worried about my boyfriendhe's been experiencing shortness of breath almost every day, and now his sleep is getting disrupted by this choking cough and cold. He even catches a cold easily in the summer. It's been really rough for the past 23 days, and on top of that, he has indigestion. What can I do to help him or any advice on how we should handle this situation?

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's asthma. The doctor recommended Xanilax SR 200 instead of Theoasthalin SR, but I'm not sure if this is the right choice. Plus, it's a bit pricey. Could you give me some advice on whether Xanilax SR 200 is a good substitute?
Yes, Xanilax SR 200 is a suitable substitute for Theoasthalin SR in the treatment of Asthma. Xanilax SR 200 contains Theophylline which helps in relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. As for the cost, Xanilax SR 200 may be slightly more expensive than Theoasthalin SR, but it is important to follow your doctor's prescription for optimal management of Asthma symptoms. The usual dosage of Xanilax SR 200 is 200mg once daily, but please follow your doctor's instructions for the correct dosage based on your mother's condition.

I've had this issue with breathing for the past 15 to 20 years, and it's really been bothering me. Sometimes I can take a deep breath through my nose and mouth, but other times it feels like I just can't breathe deeply at all. My nose gets blocked frequently, and even after using Vicks, it opens up but doesn't quite give me that 'free' feeling of breathing. Also, when I sleep on my stomach, food often comes up to my throat, causing me to choke and wake up. My stomach feels bloated for hours as well. I've been told it might be anxiety, but I'm not sure. I can comfortably climb up to three floors, but anything more leaves me breathless. I've done an ECG, ABH test, BP check, and even a chest x-ray which showed some congestion but everything else was normal. Stress tests from six years ago were normal too, and I still struggle to understand what's going on. Could this really be anxiety, or could there be something else affecting my breathing?
Azeflo nasal spray is advised to the patient.
