I'm a little worried because I've been dealing with a lot of symptoms like excessive yawning, a constant feeling of needing to yawn, and even sometimes feeling like I can't breathe properly, all for about 45 days now. I also have a stuffy nose, my nasal turbinates seem enlarged, and I have post-nasal drip. I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis earlier, but these symptoms don't seem to be going away. Is there a chance that this has turned into allergic asthma or maybe even bronchial asthma, even though I havent started coughing or felt any chest pressure?

Is it normal for an oximeter reading to jump between numbers, like sometimes it shows 95 and then just a few seconds later it's up to 98 or 97? Should I be worried about these fluctuations or is that just how these devices work?

I've been waking up in the middle of the night feeling breathless, and sometimes this happens after I eat too. I don't get it because I have a pretty sedentary lifestyle, but so do a lot of other people, and they don't seem to deal with this. What could be causing these breathless episodes? Should I be worried?

stop spicy food , drink warm water , do pulmonary function test
