Question

I'm really worried about my husbands health. His oxygen levels dropped below 90 a couple of days ago, and now it's been hovering between 93-95 for the past month. A month back, his RT-PCR test came out negative. Hes also pre-diabetic and has borderline cholesterol. Can you give me some advice on what we should do next?
