I've been having this wheezing sound when I breathe for about a week now. I went to the doctor and got some medicine, but the problem hasn't gone away. Do you think I should be worried? Could there be something the doctor missed, or might there be another treatment I should try?

I'm a bit worried about my breathing issues. The doctor prescribed me Predmet 4mg tablets for 15 days, and it really helped control it. But now that I've finished the course, the breathing problem has come back. How long can I safely continue taking this medicine if it helps with my breathing? Could you please advise?

Patient is advised predmet 4 mg for 14 days, then predmet 2 mg for 14 days, and lastly tab predmet 1mg for 14 days and then stoped.

I'm having trouble breathing and can't seem to get air through my nose for a while now, so I've been breathing through my mouth instead. But lately, even that's becoming tough and I feel like I have to take big breaths just to get enough oxygen. What's going on with this?

I'm a bit concerned about my mom. She's been having trouble with her breathing, and the nearby doctor prescribed her Spenzo 0.5. I'm a little puzzled because I thought Spenzo was more for mental health issues. Is it common to use it for breathing difficulties? What could be the reason behind this prescription?

Spenzo (sertraline) is an antidepressant used primarily for anxiety or depression, not typically for breathing difficulties. It's important to discuss the reasoning behind its prescription with her doctor, as it may have been prescribed for anxiety-related breathing issues or another underlying cause. Always seek clarification from her healthcare provider.
