It sounds to me like your questions are mostly surrounding me dicationsand issues you have with the side effects and interactions. We don't provide medical advice here, but when ihad a conflict, a thorough consult with our clinic's medication management specialists, who are pharmacists with additional training got me on track. I used a beta blocker for heart rhythm management, and after several trials, it was determined that my breathing issues were more crucial, so I sometimes have to rapid heartrate.
As for mucus clearing, I use Mucinex LA which thins the mucus without affecting my heart or asthma. It also seems to relieve post nasal drip, so I don't need sprays or nasal washes.
How was your MAI diagnosed, and has any decision been made about treating it?
