I'm really concerned about my friend's oxygen saturation levels. When she's lying down, it's around 85-89, but when she sits up, it improves to 92-93. She's currently on TB medication, and with 2L of oxygen, she can maintain a saturation of 92-95. I just want to know how her saturation can get back to normal levels. Any tips or advice on what we might do differently?

I've been tested positive for Covid on July 30, 2020, but I didn't have any symptoms. They admitted me to the hospital anyway and did all sorts of tests like CBC, kidney, liver, d-dimer, ferritin, and some ECG and chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. I got out after a week and have been quarantining at home for six days now. The past three days, I've been feeling like I have this chest fullness, kind of like gastric issues. I went back to the hospital and got another X-ray, which looks fine. But my Spo2 levels have been always between 93 and 96 since I got home. I'm not really experiencing anything else, but I'm worried about how to improve my Spo2 levels. Can you give me some advice?
