I have been taking Tegratol for 10 years for mood stabilization. Recently, I have experienced shallow breathing, body aches, and discovered these might be side effects of the medication. I also have a history of GBS as a child, was born with one kidney, and take several other medications including Cymbalta, Strattera, Lexapro, Trazodone, a cholesterol medicine, and an allergy medicine. I have been dealing with Bells Palsy for less than a year and am currently on Valtrex. My immune system seems weaker, and I struggle with weight and energy levels. My general practitioner attributes all symptoms to my weight, but I believe they may be related to my medications. What do you think?

My wife, who was a smoker and is now in her mid-30s, stopped smoking with the help of Chantix and developed chronic respiratory issues, including wheezing, a chronic cough, and frequent respiratory infections. She has been diagnosed with COPD and has nasal polyps. Despite various treatments, including allergy medications, inhalers, and Prednisone, she continues to experience severe respiratory problems, often requiring ER visits. Her quality of life has been significantly impacted. What additional steps or treatments can we consider to manage her condition effectively?
