I'm really worried about my dad. He's got asthma, just like his dad did, and Im not sure, but is having a cold related to asthma? Hes had a runny nose for about 15 days now. Could this be because of his asthma, or do you think it might be something else? What should we do?

View allI'm dealing with some breathing issues, like shortness of breath, and it's been more than 10 years. I've gone to various doctors, and they said it's allergies. So, I went to see a pulmonologist. They suggested I do FENO and PFT tests. My FENO result came back as 19 ppb, and PFT was normal. They gave me a Foracart 200 inhaler and some meds for allergies, but it's been five days and I haven't noticed a difference. Should I be worried, or could this take more time? What should I do next?

I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath, and it seems to come out of nowhere but then just disappears after a little while. Could this be a sign of asthma or something else I should be worried about?
Sudden shortness of breath that resolves on its own could be related to asthma, but it can also be caused by other conditions like anxiety, panic attacks, or cardiac issues, so it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a pulmonologist or an allergist, for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

My breathing seems to get really heavy at night, and I've been using Salbair as an inhaler to help. It sometimes results in cough with these thread-like formations. Is it okay to keep using Salbair this way?
It sounds like you're experiencing breathing difficulties at night, and using Salbair (a salbutamol inhaler) can help relieve symptoms of wheezing or shortness of breath. However, if youre noticing persistent symptoms or coughing, its important to consult with a healthcare provider to evaluate your condition, as this could be related to asthma, allergies, or another respiratory issue.
