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?

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been dealing with whooping cough and a bit of trouble breathing. We first saw a pulmonologist who said it might be because of her high white blood cell count, which is at 17,000. He gave her Hetrazan 100 and Cefpo 200 a week ago, but she's still coughing a lot. Today, we went to see a more senior pulmonologist and he thinks it might actually be asthma. He prescribed things like duolin rotacaps, seroflo rotacaps 250, levosalbutamol, ipratropium bromide, and mebendazole. I'm just confusedis this because of the high white blood cell count or is it asthma?

I'm feeling really short of breath when I walk, jog, lift weights, or even climb stairs. I'm getting tired quickly, even with little tasks, and it's frustrating because I'm usually pretty active. It's becoming quite concerning. What could be causing this, and how should I address it?

I've been having trouble breathing and it feels like I really have to work hard just to inhale properly. I'm also yawning a lot and constantly have this urge to take deep, long breaths, which isn't normal for me. It's kind of worrying. Could this be something serious? What might be going on with my breathing?
