I'm dealing with a cough that comes with a lot of balgam, and I'm feeling this really heavy pain in my chest whenever I try to talk. Plus, the coughing is causing some rashes in my throat. What could be going on, and what should I do about it?

I'm in the military and ended up in Germany about a year and a half ago. Running's always been my thing and I've never had issues with it before. But then last August, out of nowhere, I started feeling this sharp chest pain when I was out on a run. At first, it didn't show up until around three miles in, but now I can't even manage a mile without feeling it. I got an inhaler and it worked at the beginning, but now it seems useless. I'm just 22, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what this could be or what I should do next?

increase the dose of inhaler and increasethe frequency of using it

I'm really worried about my dad's oximeter readings. It first shows SpO2 levels at 96, then drops to 95, 94, and even goes further down to 93 and 92. This fluctuation between increasing and decreasing is concerning. Given that normal SpO2 levels are usually between 95-100, I'm not sure what to make of it. Should I be worried about those dips to 92 and 93? What should I do?

No need to worry,keep a close observation,if it becomes less than 89 ,visit Physician for evaluation for appropriate management
