Respected user , hi Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly * Age is vital determining factor to be considered to answer is missing here * Level of relief by medicines depend upon the actual diagnosis , medicines effectiveness over the pathology , host response to it , underlying co morbid conditions , environmental factors , personal care , other factors * For better outcome I suggest - prefer semi reclining positions when resting - avoid strenuous work - avoid smoking strictly if doing - deep breathing exercises with YOGA help a lot - avoid exposure to pollens / dusty environments , use face mask as and when required liberally - discuss with doctor the need of diagnostic parameters in your case as x-ray , laboratory , pulmonary function test , diagnostic bronchoscopy electrocardiography or others Hope this clears your query Welcome for any further assistance Regards
