I'm really concerned about my dad. His oxygen levels are consistently around 94 or 93, and he's taking medication for high blood pressure. Also, he has a very large stomach. Could this be affecting his oxygen levels? What should we do about it?

View allI'm experiencing some issues that started last night and I'm a bit worried. My Spo2 levels fluctuate between 97 and 98, but they dip to 95 or 96 if I lie down at a certain angle. I've also been dealing with gastric problems and a heavy chest. Whenever I take a deep breath, it triggers a cough. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

I'm really worried about my grandfather who was just admitted because of breathing problems. They put him on a ventilator, and I'm wondering if that's safe. Also, what are the chances of him pulling through after being on a ventilator? They did some treatment to clear out his mucus as well. Can you give me an idea of his survival chances?

I'm experiencing some discomfort and pain on the left side of my rib and chest area, especially when I take a deep breath. It also gets worse if I sleep on my left side. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?
It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain, inflammation, or possibly something related to your ribs or lungs. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like a rib injury or respiratory concerns.
