I'm having some trouble breathing, but both my chest X-ray and ECG came back normal. They mentioned there's a bit of congestion, and I'm on medication for that. The thing is, my oximeter is reading my oxygen level at 91. Should I be worried about this?

View allI'm planning a trip to Leh where the altitude ranges from 10,000 to 18,000 feet, but I've got some concerns. I had a heart bypass surgery back in 2004 and was diagnosed with ILD in 2015. I'm currently taking six Pirfenex daily. Do you think it would be safe for me to go on this trip to such high altitudes, or could it pose any risks to my health?
its better you avoid high altitude at this point

I'm really concerned because I've been coughing up blood and having trouble breathing. My oxygen level has dropped to around 93, and I'm feeling a lot of chest tightness. The cough is red and has clots in it. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Ecg ,x-ray chest pa view and sputum for AFB and culture and sensitivity test is advised to the patient.

I'm really concerned about what's been happening with my health. I had TB back in May 2020 and finished the treatment in November that year and I felt fine after but then in April 2021, I got COVID. Since then I've been struggling with low-grade fever, cold feet, severe headaches, neck pain, and this overwhelming weakness like my body will just give up if I do anything for more than 15 minutes. All my blood tests have come back normal, and Crocin and paracetamol didn't help with the fever. Naproxyn worked for a bit, but the fever came back. It's been over a year and things just aren't getting betterin fact, they're getting worse. In March 2022, my doctor started looking into other causes, but all the tests were normal except for this chronic empyema in the lungs. They started ATT in April, and things got better at first but then went downhill again. After a PET scan, they found the empyema was active, so I had surgery and started on second-line drugs based on the biopsy report. There's been a little improvement, but then it just got worse again. I'm really at a loss here and would appreciate any advice or insights. What could be causing this?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
