I'm trying to figure out if my lungs are healthy. Are there any specific tests I should take? I have an oximeter, and it shows readings of 95 and above. What do these numbers actually mean? I often feel like Im suffocating, which causes me anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings in my body. Can you help me understand what's going on?

My mother-in-law has been using a Duolin inhaler and albuterol sulfate 90mcg while in the USA, but now that we're in India, I can't find albuterol here. Can she use an Asthalin inhaler 100mcg instead? I'm a bit worried about making the right switch.

Can I nebulate with both Duolin and Budecort for post-COVID care? How would I go about using them together?

Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be used together for nebulization, as they complement each other in managing respiratory symptoms; for post-COVID care, use as directed by your doctor, typically 2-3 times a day, with a common regimen being Duolin 2.5ml + Budecort 1mg2ml, but adjust frequency and dosage based on individual symptoms and medical guidance.
