I've been dealing with a wheezing cough and shortness of breath for two months. I was on continuous treatment during the first month, but then I stopped. Because the cough got really bad again, I started taking wheezing medicines for the past five days, including Budamate 400 and Airz FF inhalers, along with Levot M and Nayapred just for five days. Initially, the cough and wheezing eased up on the first day of the medication. But now, after 4 to 5 days, even though I'm still taking the meds, the cough sometimes returns and lasts for a while. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening? Should I consider visiting the doctor again?

I'm really worried about my mom. For the last 67 months, she's been experiencing excessive yawning during the day. We've done all kinds of tests like chest x-ray, ECG, echo, TMT, and even basic blood work, but everything's coming back normal. She often mentions feeling like there's air stuck in her left chest, and yawning seems to give her some relief. Sometimes she even has chest pains. Could you help us figure out what's going on?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm curious about something. I've been randomly checking my SpO2 levels in the morning and at night. In the morning, they're usually between 97 to 99, but at night they go from 94 to 98. I'm not running a fever or anything. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

no it is not, donot worry it might due to temperature changes also
