I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. When I'm lying down, it's really hard to breathe and my chest feels tight. But as soon as I get up, it almost goes back to normal. I'm also having a weird cough that feels really dense and kind of stringy. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

View allI'm worried about my mom. She's been unwell since April 15th. Initially, she had fever, vomiting, and headache for two days. Now she's really weak and has a dry cough, mostly at night, making it hard for her to sleep. Even after taking antibiotics, the cough isn't going away, and medicines are making her feel nauseous. Her oxygen levels are fine, but I'm still concerned about the ongoing cough and sleepless nights. What could be causing this, and what should we do next?

Why am I still feeling this pain? I had a pleural effusion back in November 2017, and had thoracentesis done twice. All the tests came back negative and my doctor said it was viral. Now it's March 2018, and I'm still experiencing pain starting from my back moving up to my side and into my chest, especially when I cough, yawn, or take a deep breath. I'm really worried about why it's not getting better. Any ideas?

I'm a bit worried because my oxygen levels keep changing. Earlier, when I checked about half an hour ago, the readings were 97 for both my left and right fingers. But now, I just checked again, and I got 82 on my left finger and 89 on my right. Can you help me understand why this might be happening?
check whether pulse oximeter is default, if not your oxygen level is low put o2 mask asap
