I'm allergic to dust and use a Foracort 400 inhaler for my allergic asthma when I'm feeling breathless. I recently spent some time in a really dusty area and might have inhaled a lot of dust. Im feeling okay right now, but Im concerned. What should I be doing after being exposed to so much dust, even if Im not having any immediate problems?

I just got my spirometry results back and I'm a bit confused. It shows that my FEV1 is 33 and my FVC is 41, but then it says my FEV1FVC is 70. I'm trying to understand what it means to have low FEV1 and FVC but a high FEV1FVC ratio. Is this something I should be worried about?

Hey, my father-in-law, who's 63, was admitted on an oxygen bed on May 1st with a saturation level of 88. He tested positive for Covid19 and he's been getting treated in the hospital. Yesterday, his oxygen was at 15 liters, and his saturation was about 95, but today it's dropped back to 88 without oxygen support. The hospital suggested he might be discharged in 2 days since he's been physically good and active. So I'm really wondering, should we be worried about this drop in saturation? Is it something unusual or potentially dangerous? And is it safe for him to be discharged after just 2 days? I'm trying to understand if an oxygen level of 88 is bad or if it's something normal with recovering patients?

I've been dealing with a cough for the past month and had symptoms that reminded me of Covid-19, but I've taken the RTPCR test twice this month, and both came back negative. Even so, I'm feeling a lot of pressure in my lungs. Any idea what could be going on or what I should do next?
