I am 36F and Consulted a doctor in early June for chest discomfort and nighttime coughing. All diagnostic tests were normal, and I received a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma (CVA). Later in late June, contracted a viral infection that caused a deep chest rattle.
I Completed a 1-month course of Foracort 400 (twice daily) exactly 5 days ago (July 5).
The late-June viral chest rattle ('ghar-ghar') and active cough have now stopped.
• Current Symptoms: Voice is completely hoarse and cracked. Experiencing a mild, persistent 'sinking' feeling in my chest, especially when exhaling or leaning back on pillows. The chest feels generally uncomfortable and not fully right, though it is hard to explain in words.
Of late I am feeling a tiny bit breathless at times (might be due to heightened awareness/anxiety). No classic acidity, stomach discomfort, or hot belches, but the chest discomfort is noticeably more after heavy meals.
Can I take foracort agin or what should I do?

Im an asthmatic person. Right now my asthma is well controlled. Im currently 36 weeks pregnant. Last check I got diagnosed with gestational hypertension. My gynae prescribed labetatol 100 mg twice a day. Is this tablet will suit me or it will trigger my asthma. Im taking it for past 2 days as of now I'm ok only. Any suggestion for asthma friendly bp medication or should I continue this? .
Dec 2025–May 2026: Started with a long-lasting dry cough. All tests were completely normal: Chest X-ray, PFT (breathing test), FeNO (airway swelling test), and IgE (allergy blood test).
June 5, 2026: Due to the ongoing cough and normal tests, the doctor gave a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma and prescribed a Foracort 400 rotahaler twice daily.
After June 5: Developed new, severe breathlessness and air hunger. This included a scary episode of sudden breathing struggle while sitting in my living room directly under the AC vent with the front door open.
• Inhaler Response: Mixed. Sometimes Foracort significantly helps open my chest; other times it goes on its own
• My Query: I am seeking a second opinion to confirm if this provisional diagnosis is correct, why my breathlessness started after June 5, and why the inhaler works only sometimes magically n sometimes slowly.
I am 37 and live in the usa since 2010. Born and broughtup in India and visit India every year. Recently i got tested (blood) for TB for my green card application and to my surprise it turned out to be positive. I have no symptoms. Then they checked my xray which was normal. So the doctor said that i seem to be having latent tb. 1 in 10 people having this condition can later develop active tb and hence i should consult a specialist and start preventive treatment.
What should be done next?
I should take treatment or not and i have heard the side effects of medicines can be gruesome
I have thyroid. Except that no other problem.
