It was around 2:30 am in the night. I have been feeling short of breath. I was unable to get a clue; why is it happening to me? It isn’t easy to visit the hospital during this time at night. Also, other family members would get disturbed and panic too.

I realized of teleconsultation. I search for a physician, submit the fee, and get connected instantly. The doctor listened to my health issues carefully and advised me with the appropriate meditation. Also, it was late at night, so my doctor suggested a home remedy to try, which was effective.
