I'm using Rotacap Formoterol Fumarate and Fluticasone propionate powder for inhalation, specifically Formoflo 250. I wasnt very regular with my Rotacap Budecort 100. But now that I've started with Formoflo 250, it feels like I'm getting more consistent with taking my meds. Do you think this change is beneficial or should I be aware of anything else?

Im a 41-year-old guy and lately, I've been really struggling with breathing. It doesn't matter if I'm just sitting, standing, talking, walking, or pretty much doing anything - it's like I'm always short of breath. A month ago, I had some pain on the left side of my chest and ended up doing a bunch of tests like ECG, Stress Echo, and a chest X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm really puzzled and kind of worried. Why do you think I might be feeling this way?

I'm a lifeguard and lately I've been having asthma attacks on days when the allergens are high and it's really hot. This happens even after I use my inhaler, which I do faithfully 30 minutes before my shift starts and again halfway through my 6-hour shift. I've already had two mild attacks and one severe one. The severe attack was so bad that I needed emergency oxygen. What should I do? Is there something more I can be doing to prevent these attacks, especially since I have to work under these conditions?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I've smoked 43 cigarettes over the last 8 months and I've stopped now, but I'm really worried. How much harm could that have done to my health? Am I safe, or should I be concerned about any potential diseases? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

Smoking cessation is advised to the patient.
