Ive been feeling really suffocated for the past three days, and it's making it really tough to get any work done. My chest feels tight and heavy, and I've also got this nagging upset stomach. Its like Im completely unhappy and cant shake off these negative thoughts. Im wondering, is this a breathing problem or anxiety or something else entirely? I had a chest x-ray done about three months ago, and it didnt show anything, but the problems still here. The doctor mentioned something about allergic rhinitis, and Ive been taking Alerfix Total daily for three months and Oxitin CR Forte, but I missed my Oxitin dose the last two days. Could this be something serious? And how can I get rid of this permanently?

I've been smoking for the past 4 years, but now I've started feeling really lazy and it's causing other issues too. I'm really looking to quit. Could you please give me some advice on how to stop smoking and maybe help with these problems?

I'm dealing with a cold and running nose issue since I was a kid, and I found out I have asthma in 2016. I've been using that Budamate inhaler twice a day along with Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays. Originally, I used the sprays every day, twice a day, but now I only use them when my cold flares up. So here are my questions: sometimes I get a runny nose right when I wake up. Is it okay to use the Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays on an empty stomach? And can I use the inhaler on an empty stomach too? Another thing, I've been controlling my cold with Arzep, but are there any long-term effects if I keep using these nasal sprays regularly? I'm kinda worried about any side effects.

Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

I'm experiencing tightness in my chest and it's becoming hard to breathe. I've been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis and usually use my asthalin inhaler, but it's not providing much relief this time. My nose feels sort of blocked, though I don't have any other symptoms like a cough or cold. I've tried taking Allegra too, but the tightness in my chest just won't go away. What could be going on?
