Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to HCM.
This is Dr.Riyanka answering your query.

Formonide 100 contains Formoterol, a B2 agonist drug used to clear respiratory passages in respiratory disorders.Kindly also consult a physician.
Usually the dosage is twice a day as and when required.It has almost no side effects on prolong usage and gives relief in obstructive respiratory diseases.


However, i suggest kindly get an ECG and Echocardiography to rule out cardiac causes of breathlessness after dinner.

Also kindly consult a physician and get a pulmonary function test done along with Chest Xray to find out the respiratory cause of tightness of chest.

Hope this answers your query.
