Question

I'm noticing my oxygen saturation levels bouncing between 95 and 98, and sometimes they shift between 96 and 97. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it considered normal for the spo2 levels to fluctuate this way?

I've been coughing up a little bit of blood in the mornings for the last few weeks and also noticed some blood in my left nostril. I got a chest x-ray and PNS x-ray done, and they came back normal. My CBC and ESR are also normal. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something minor? What should I do next?

I've been doing deep breathing and anulom Vilom pranayams for about 45 days now, and I'm starting to feel a heaviness in my head, like I'm going to faint, and theres a weird sensation in my cervical area when I do them. My oxygen levels and breath-holding are actually pretty good, but I also notice I have a lot of gas or acidity. I'm a bit concerned about what's happening and would really appreciate any advice on what could be causing this and how I might treat it.

I'm really concerned about my mom's asthma. The doctor recommended Xanilax SR 200 instead of Theoasthalin SR, but I'm not sure if this is the right choice. Plus, it's a bit pricey. Could you give me some advice on whether Xanilax SR 200 is a good substitute?
