Question
I can't remember if I've already taken a dose of EBAS 20, and now I'm worried I might've accidentally taken two instead of one. What should I do in this situation?

Your mother's oxygen levels are a concern, especially with the drop in levels at night. This condition is known as nocturnal hypoxemia . Given her age and symptoms, it's essential to investigate the underlying cause. Possible causes of low oxygen levels include: - *Respiratory issues*: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or asthma . - *Cardiovascular conditions*: Heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiac arrhythmias . - *Sleep disorders*: Sleep apnea or insomnia . - *Other medical conditions*: Anemia, pulmonary embolism, or lung cancer . Consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. They may recommend: - *Oxygen therapy*: Supplemental oxygen to help increase oxygen levels . - *Medications*: To manage underlying conditions, such as bronchodilators for COPD or diuretics for heart failure . - *Lifestyle changes*: Quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight .
