Can I take my own Montek LC?
Hello doctors,
I have ABPA (Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis). My pulmonary doctor never started any specific treatment for ABPA yet. Recently, I had a chest infection, so the doctor gave me Foracort 200 (formoterol 6 + budesonide 200).
But after using it, my breathing got worse, so I stopped using it.
I have my next appointment next Friday (after 7 days). Until then, I have stopped all medicines.
My question is:
Can I take my own Montek LC (montelukast + levocetirizine) once daily for the next 7 days until I meet the doctor?
Please advise if this is safe or helpful.
Thank you!

Do I really have asthma
Why my asthma shows irreversible? Do I actually have asthma or not?
Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed with asthma, but my Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) shows irreversible airway obstruction. I thought asthma is usually reversible after bronchodilator (like salbutamol) use.
Now I’m confused — if it’s not reversible, do I really have asthma? Or is it something else like COPD or bronchiectasis?
I’m in my early 30s, and I never smoked.
Can asthma ever become irreversible?
What else could cause this?

Why symptoms worsening
I was given Foracort and Budesonide (both corticosteroids).
Does using corticosteroids like these increase ABPA numbers?
Because my symptoms have worsened after starting them.
I wasn't prescribed antifungal
Please help me understand. Thanks!

Please guide me.
Have ABPA and was using Budesonide regularly. Recently, I suddenly stopped it because I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t know what else to do. Now I’m worried — can this make my ABPA worse? Will the fungal infection multiply or my IgE levels go higher? I had no idea stopping it suddenly could be risky. Please guide me.

What should I do now?
I had tuberculosis (TB) in the past. Now I am being treated for Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA). I took montelukast and budesonide (6 mcg and 200 mcg) but only on and off, not regularly.
My mucus has increased recently. I just learned that this condition can be dangerous.
What should I do now? Do I need to see a doctor urgently or change my treatment?
Please help.

Am I using it incorrectly?
Recently, my doctor changed my inhaler from MDI to Synchrobreath. When I used the MDI, I noticed that it used to increase my heartbeat. But now, after switching to Synchrobreath, I don’t feel the same effect – my heartbeat stays normal.
I’m a bit worried. Does this mean I am not using Synchrobreath correctly?
Also, I don’t feel much improvement in my breathing either.
Can anyone help me understand if this is normal or if I’m doing something wrong?
