I'm experiencing some breathlessness when I'm walking or climbing stairs to the second floor, especially after coming home from work. My oxygen level drops to 90 for about 30 seconds to a minute before it goes back to normal. I also had a CRP test done, and the result was 15.6 mgL. Is this a normal level? What could be happening with my body?

I've had this persistent cough for a few weeks now and my GP sent me for a chest x-ray. It's been over two weeks since the x-ray on Tuesday, but I haven't heard any results yet. I'm really anxious and wondering if this delay is normal. Should I be worried about this?

I've been dealing with asthma since I was 20, and my doctor has me using an asthma pump twice a day. I'm really wondering if using the pump and taking medicines can actually completely cure my asthma. Is there hope for getting rid of it entirely, or will I need to manage it this way long-term?

yes it can be cured
