View allI've been having these Covid symptoms since this morning and I've already done an RT PCR test. After talking to a doctor on Practo, I started on some meds. My Spo2 levels seem to fluctuate between 93 and 97 on my left index finger, but they read 97-99 on my right index. Is it normal for the oxygen levels to be different on each finger? What's the ideal range I should be looking for? And at what point should I be worried? My fever is currently at 101F.
ideal above 94 percent

I've been experiencing this sharp pain on my right side just below my rib cage. It feels like a pinching sensation, especially when I take a deep breath. A couple of days ago, the same area was really itchy, but it felt like it was deep in my lungs. I can't figure out what's going on because I don't have any other symptoms like fever or body pain. I did have a cough and cold a few days ago though. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
