I have lost some of the extended stomach. I am confused. Please help I cannot pay any money but need advice.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
You should have explained your symptoms in detail. so that i would have given better advice.
your weight gain could be due to prednisone , which is a one or the side effect of that drug.
Better to take medications through inhaler for your lung problem, as it reduces systemic side effects.
Consult a pulmonologist for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take
care.
Regards
Dr. Vidya
