Question 1

I've been recovering from COVID for about 7 months now, and my CT score initially was 12 right after, but it dropped to 7 a few months later. I recently checked my SpO2 while lying down with my head on a pillow, and it was around 95-96, but when I sat in a chair, it was 98. Plus, I'm able to walk about 3-4 km daily without any issues. Is there anything serious I should be concerned about here?

Accepted Answer

no its normal ,no need to worry

Question 2

I'm really worried about my mom, she's 63 and has had asthma for a long while. Lately, she's been having trouble with her breathing and she's also been getting headaches. We went to the hospital and got an X-ray, ECG, and COVID test done, and thankfully, everything came back normal. But I'm still concerned and thinking of keeping her on oxygen at home for a bit because I'm afraid of the risks at the hospital. Can you tell me how to get an oxygen cylinder for home use and what precautions I should take?

Accepted Answer

give asthma medications instead of oxygen

Question 3

I've had this issue with breathing for the past 15 to 20 years, and it's really been bothering me. Sometimes I can take a deep breath through my nose and mouth, but other times it feels like I just can't breathe deeply at all. My nose gets blocked frequently, and even after using Vicks, it opens up but doesn't quite give me that 'free' feeling of breathing. Also, when I sleep on my stomach, food often comes up to my throat, causing me to choke and wake up. My stomach feels bloated for hours as well. I've been told it might be anxiety, but I'm not sure. I can comfortably climb up to three floors, but anything more leaves me breathless. I've done an ECG, ABH test, BP check, and even a chest x-ray which showed some congestion but everything else was normal. Stress tests from six years ago were normal too, and I still struggle to understand what's going on. Could this really be anxiety, or could there be something else affecting my breathing?

Azeflo nasal spray is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with pulmonary TB and my doctor has included Benadon 40mg in my treatment plan. I'm a bit worried because I'm not sure what would happen if I accidentally took two doses of Benadon at once. Could it cause any problems or side effects?

Ideally nothing happens for once,but better be cautious further
