I'm concerned about my 70-year-old mom. She's really sensitive to the cold, and since last week, she's been coughing after showering and sitting under a fast fan. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some mucusy spit. She doesn't have a fever, shortness of breath, or feel weak, but I'm worried about whether this needs attention. Should I consider seeing a specialist or doing any tests, especially since she's refusing to visit the doctor? Any advice would really help.

View allI'm dealing with a constant sore throat and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. It's weird because I feel really irritated by dust. Lately, I've been getting tired easily when I exercise or even just walk. I'm 26 and there's no asthma history in my family. I had a PFT test done and it showed mild restriction and low vital capacity. What could this mean, and what might be causing it?
Do breathing exercises, drink warm water , inhale steam 5 times a day , avoid allergens

I'm a bit concerned about my oxygen saturation levels after recovering from COVID. Sometimes, while I'm sleeping, my SpO2 drops to around 91-92, but during the day it seems normal at 95. My CT scan showed a value of 1225. Should I be worried about these numbers, and how long might it take for everything to get back to normal?

I've been having trouble with my breathing for like 3 months now, and I'm kinda lost on what to do next. I've already done some tests like an ECG, and it showed my heartbeat is a bit faster than normal. Plus, I've had normal results for my X-ray and thyroid function test. In my latest blood tests, my triglycerides, SGPT, SGOT, and uric acid are just slightly above normal. I've also gained some weight during quarantine and got a bit of a belly. I'm just wondering if all of this could be related to my breathing issues or shortness of breath? Any advice on what might be going on or what I should do?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
