I'm having an issue with my oximeter where it won't show the RR reading, except for a few brief moments. It works perfectly fine for others when they use it on their finger, but this problem only happens when I use it. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm having trouble breathing properly, especially taking deep breaths. I've been using doxophylline 650mg sr, but I feel pain in the right side of my chest when I breathe. Sometimes I even have to hold my chest just to manage it. I've tried anxiety meds and something for a chest infection, but I'm still worried. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

I'm really worried about bronchitis and I'm trying to understand the different sounds a doctor would hear through a stethoscope, like ronchi, wheezing, or crackles. Could you explain what these sounds mean and how they're related to bronchitis? Would be really great if you could help me out with this.

I'm having trouble breathing for the last couple of days. My chest just feels really heavy, and I'm needing to take deeper breaths than usual. Weirdly, my nose isn't blocked, and there isn't any pain anywhereeverything else seems normal. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can fix it?
