I'm a bit concerned because I've had this cough for about 10 days now. It switches between being dry and wet, and recently, I've started having some abdominal pain when I cough. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

I'm really confused about my situation. All my tests like X-ray, PFT, and ECG came back normal, and my oxygen levels are at 99%, but I'm still having trouble breathing and feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen. It's really worrying. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

I'm having a tough time with a dry cough for about 34 weeks now, and I've tried all sorts of syrups like Cofdex and Honitus, but nothing's helping. It's gotten to the point where I'm having really bad headaches. Could you please provide some advice on what I should do next?

I'm wondering when during the day I should be checking my blood oxygen levels. I've got an oximeter at home, but I'm not sure how often or what times are best to use it. Could you give me some guidance on this?

-Hi, it's generally recommended to check blood oxygen levels 2-3 times a dayonce in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once before bed. You can also check if you feel short of breath or dizzy, or if you're monitoring a specific health condition.
