What Causes Breathing Problem Despite Taking Ayurvedic Treatment?

Sir, I am 54 years male working in a paper mill and nearby coal mines environment. I have normal BP, sugar etc and have no any illness. But since last 6-7 years when i joined paper mill, i am feeling breathing problems. I have got treatment in Ayurvedic, elopathy, homeopathy etc but still problem exists. I request you to please suggest me any in-haler which is safe and should not convert problem in chronic type. Regards, Mukesh Mittal mail id :- YYYY@YYYY

Hi. You mention a lot of alternative treatment regimes which are not helping you. Have you been to see a medical doctor recently during this? Your potential occupational exposure risk to certain substances concerns me if you have not undergone any imaging of your chest. You need a minimum of a plain chest radiograph (chest X-Ray), and probably a high-resolution contrast-enhanced CT scan of your chest. I would suggest you visit your doctor to discuss this concern. I understand you have asked specifically for advice on inhaler options - salbutamol or ipratropium may help with your symptoms, but I would urge you to get checked out properly and not just mask your symptoms with an inhaler.
I find this answer helpful
