I'm a bit concerned because for the past year, I've been dealing with excess mucus, especially in the morning, and it's usually yellow or gray. I did an IgE test and an X-ray back in April, and the doctor said it was a seasonal allergy, suggesting I take Montek LC at bedtime for a month, but I only stuck with it for a week. Occasionally, about once a week or even less, I get shortness of breath around bedtime. Recently, I got the Covaxin vaccine about five days ago, and since then, I've noticed that my blood pressure is a bit low at 10570, and I've been getting shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat at times. Could this be from the vaccine, or is it the allergies acting up? I also experience some gastric issues, like passing a lot of gas. I work out almost daily and don't have any other health problems, my SPO2 levels are usually between 96 and 98. What do you think I should do for treatment?

I'm really concerned about my friend's oxygen saturation levels. They've been all over the placesometimes it starts at 76 and then jumps up to 93 or 94 after a few minutes. He doesn't have any symptoms and seems fine otherwise, but his family is worried because their levels are all at 99 spO2. Is it normal for oxygen levels to fluctuate like this in someone who's not showing any symptoms? Should we consider getting him a COVID test or something just to be sure?

it is normal for a person , don't worry. no need of any tests

I'm really worried because I've been having some back and chest pain, so my family doctor had me get a chest x-ray. The results say something about a blunted left costophrenic angle and left-sided pleural effusion. My doctor thinks it might be TB since there's fluid on the left side of my lungs. Can you help me understand what this means and what steps I should take next?

That could be TB no need to worry,visit Pulmonologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I've been dealing with shortness of breath for a couple of months now, and I constantly feel pain on the right side of my chest. I had a spirometry test and a chest x-ray, but everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about hyperreactive airways. What does that mean, and is there anything else I should be worried about or look into?
