I'm experiencing some issues that started last night and I'm a bit worried. My Spo2 levels fluctuate between 97 and 98, but they dip to 95 or 96 if I lie down at a certain angle. I've also been dealing with gastric problems and a heavy chest. Whenever I take a deep breath, it triggers a cough. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

View allI've just got my health check-up done, and while most things are in the normal range, my eosinophils count is a bit high at 11.6. I've started taking banocide tablets for the past couple of days. Lately, I've begun feeling a little uneasy when I breathe. I did an ECG and chest X-ray, and those came back normal. Do you think the banocide will help with the breathing issue, or should I be looking into other medication?
Yes, continue same treatment.

I've got an oximeter at home because my grandma uses oxygen therapy, and I've noticed something about my grandpa's oxygen levels. When he's lying down or asleep, his oxygen level is usually around 92-95, mostly hovering between 93 and 94, but when he's sitting up, it goes up to 97 or 98. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? He's 70, and he doesn't have any breathing problems.
If oxygen saturation drops below 92.. oxygen is advised to the patient.Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice

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?
no its normal ,no need to worry
