I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on COVID medication for a couple of days, and because of her long-time wheezing, the doctor told her to use a Budecort 200mg inhaler twice daily. But now she's having some loose motion. Is that something normal because of the meds, or should I be taking her to see a doctor? Her oxygen levels are around 98-99 and her pulse is at 102.

I'm really worried about my health right now. I've got COPD type 2 and recently I've been dealing with really bad shortness of breath. My foot and abdomen are swollen, and I've been struggling to urinate for the last four days. My oxygen level is at 88 and my pulse rate is 120. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. It wakes me up and I find myself needing to wait to catch my breath before I can settle down again. It's been going on for about 3 years now and sometimes it's accompanied by bloating, burping, and farting. I notice the shortness of breath can also happen with panic or loud noises around me. I've tried different medicines over time but they only seem to help temporarily. I'm really curious to know what could be causing this and what might actually help. What do you think I should do?

take tablet pantop and start steam inhalation

I'm really concerned because about a month ago, I had exudate pleural effusion, and I'm still experiencing pain. Today, I had another chest X-ray, and it shows that the pleural effusion is still there. What could be causing this to persist, and what steps should I take next?

you should actually consult a physician and rule out the causes for pleural effusion. you should start specific treatment for it
