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?

I'm genuinely concerned about my aunt who's dealing with COPD and sleep apnea. Her sleep is really disrupted and her oxygen levels drop significantly during the night, hitting a low of 67 from her normal 92-94. We had a sleep study done and it showed issues like obstructive apneas, hypopneas, and hypoventilation, all causing serious drops in her oxygen levels and messing up her sleep. She stayed in sinus rhythm all night, which I'm not sure is a good or bad sign. She's also having trouble breathing in general and seems to be struggling with her weight. I'm pretty worried about her health and would really appreciate some guidance on what steps to take next.

I'm really struggling with this persistent dry cough I've had for about 4 months now, and it gets worse when I'm trying to sleep. I've tried a bunch of antibiotics and different cough syrups prescribed by local doctors, but they only work temporarily and then the cough comes back. I'm a 33-year-old male and have RHD MS. I've undergone ballooning twice and currently I'm on MetXL BD, Aquazide 12.5 OD, and Pentidure 12 LA every 21 days. I consulted with my cardiac specialist at AIIMS in New Delhi, and he said my heart is okay but recommended a PA view X-ray and a chest specialist consultation. I've been using a water steamer for steam for about 15-20 days and taking some antibiotics and cough syrups from local docs, but nothing seems to be working now. I've also been dealing with constipation and gastric problems, and I started taking laxatives for bowel clearance, which has been effective. I don't drink or smoke and don't use any other drugs. What should I do next?
